Coach Talk

TerryMcRibin
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome showing from Kyler Murray, we doubled up Najee by nature at the quarterback position this past week (41.56 points to 18.5). Murray went 21-for-32 for 289 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 38-13 win over the Titans.

Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 1. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
