Coach Talk

Blade Executioner
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Blade Executioner! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our starting quarterback was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Ryan Tannehill went 30-of-41 for 364 yards and four touchdowns for Ga(y)iders, and all Nick Foles could put up was a 23-for-39 day, with 198 yards and one passing TD. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Ga(y)iders
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 25 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed just 11 receptions.
