Coach Talk

andre's Team
Earning the win is most important, andre's Team, but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team: our QB was clearly outplayed this past week. Kyler Murray went 29-of-36 for 400 yards and three touchdowns for Gridiron Gladiators, and all Ryan Tannehill could manage through the air was 347 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Gridiron Gladiators
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 32 targets in Week 2. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only 19 receptions.
