Coach Talk

Prof Irv.Prac.Fields
Earning the win is most important, Prof Irv.Prac.Fields, but we also know of one spot where we should improve as a team: our starting QB was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Deshaun Watson went 17-of-25 for 318 yards and four touchdowns for AltiTude Rams, and all Justin Herbert could manage through the air was 316 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
AltiTude Rams
Just two makes on four field goal attempts? Sounds like Joey Slye might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
