Coach Talk

Allen the Family
Whoa, now that's what we love to see! A completion percentage of 82 percent for Josh Allen this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Saints defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the GM of Allen the Family has got to be grateful for this type of efficiency and attention to detail.
Manziel in Distress
Hey, Manziel in Distress, what'd your receivers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 15 total targets this past week, our four wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
