Coach Talk

Aaron's Amazing Team
Earning the win is most important, Aaron's Amazing Team, but we definitely know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team. Our QB was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Cam Newton went 30-of-44 for 397 yards and one touchdowns for Rookie, and all Teddy Bridgewater could manage through the air was 367 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Rookie
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Rookie collectively logged only a couple of catches on four measly targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 3!
