Coach Talk
Richie Rich
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Richie Rich! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Kyler Murray went 21-of-32 for 289 yards and four touchdowns for The D-Train, and all Justin Herbert could produce was a 31-for-47 day, with 337 yards and one passing TD. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
The D-Train
Producing four catches on just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for The D-Train should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
