Coach Talk

U-25 All-Stars

Jake's Swag Team
Unless Jake's Swag Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" cannot be a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a healthy 22 targets in Week 3. With just 13 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
