Coach Talk

plano tiburon
You know, football is all about taking advantage of the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling performance by Patrick Mahomes, we utterly dominated Melonville LaRues at the quarterback position this past week (54 points to 15). Mahomes orchestrated a big win over the Ravens, going 31-of-42 for 385 yards and four passing TDs.
Melonville LaRues
Unless Melonville LaRues wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 3. With just 20 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
