Coach Talk

Can I Haz Touchdown?
Whoa, now that's the sort of performance we love to see! A staggering 21 completions on 26 attempts for Kyler Murray this past week. Quality and some quantity! That Dolphins secondary didn't see it coming! We know the manager of Can I Haz Touchdown? is thankful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Assimilate THIS
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 9. With only eight total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
