Coach Talk

Arrogant Americans
Whoa, the Jets defense didn't know what hit 'em! 14 connections on just 16 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 88% for Jimmy Garoppolo. We know the GM of Arrogant Americans has gotta be appreciative of this type of attention to detail.
Whackers
Unless Whackers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 33 targets in Week 2. With only 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
