Coach Talk

Dustin's Team
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A spectacular 22 completions on 27 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Tom Brady this past week. That Lions secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Castor Troy v25
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 26 times in Week 16. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 16 receptions.
