Coach Talk

I Have Spoken
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A staggering 32 completions on 38 attempts... good enough for an 84% completion percentage for Justin Herbert this past week. The Eagles secondary didn't see it coming!.
ASTRO ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️
All of the cake, none of the icing: The six starting offensive skill players on ASTRO ZOMBIE 🧟‍♂️ (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) collectively gained a whopping 420 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 9.
