Coach Talk

Canadian Bacon
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Canadian Bacon! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our quarterback was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Cam Newton went 26-of-40 for 365 yards and one touchdowns for Shake-N-Bakers, and all P.J. Walker could produce was a 24-for-34 day, with 258 yards, one TD, and two ugly interceptions. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
Shake-N-Bakers
Unless Shake-N-Bakers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 24 targets in Week 11. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied just 12 receptions.
