Coach Talk

Resistance is Futile
Getting the win is most important, Resistance is Futile, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team: our quarterback was severely outplayed this past week. Cam Newton went 30-of-44 for 397 yards and one touchdowns for Warriors, and all Lamar Jackson could manage through the air was 204 passing yards. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
Warriors
Talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Warriors collectively registered one catch on just two measly targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 3!
