Coach Talk

FEAR THE NECKBEARD
You know, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar showing by Tom Brady, we thoroughly outplayed Clark Kent at the quarterback position this past week (50.66 points to 3.09). Brady went 32-for-50 for 379 yards, four TDs, and two INTs in a two-point win over the Cowboys.
Clark Kent
"Not getting enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Clark Kent. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 1. With only 23 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
