Coach Talk

Manziel in Distress
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the coaching staff. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed flawlessly. And the outcome? A spectacular 20 connections on 24 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 83 percent for Patrick Mahomes this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Ny Sack Exchange
There are plenty of lessons we can glean from this season and apply to next year... it's never too early to start strategizing and thinking about how to improve! Keep your head held high, Ny Sack Exchange!
