Coach Talk

Brandon's Team
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A superb 31 completions on 35 attempts: good enough for an 89% completion percentage for Russell Wilson this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
