Coach Talk

Iceman
Hey now Iceman, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan can do for ya! A staggering 21 completions on 26 attempts for Kyler Murray this past week. Quality and some quantity! The Dolphins defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Iceman is grateful for this type of precision and attention to detail.
Bless~Up
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 28 times in Week 9. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group pulled down only 15 balls.
