Coach Talk

PICKERS
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A spectacular 21 connections on 26 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Kyler Murray this past week. The Dolphins secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Blue Crabs
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 9. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only 14 receptions.
