Coach Talk

3 Awesome 3rdP
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A whopping 23 connections on 28 attempts: good enough for an 82 percent completion percentage for Josh Allen this past week. That Saints secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Australian Kiss
Australian Kiss will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 17 times in Week 12. With only 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
