Coach Talk

WannaBes
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, WannaBes! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our quarterback was utterly outplayed by the opposition. Jalen Hurts went 18-of-34 for 236 yards and two touchdowns for Toxins, and all Patrick Mahomes could manage through the air was 206 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Toxins
With only three catches this past week, the starting running backs for Toxins should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
