Coach Talk

The Boss
Getting the win is most important, The Boss, but we certainly know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting QB was thoroughly outclassed this past week. Josh Allen went 26-of-31 for 297 yards and three touchdowns for Heisenberg, and all Trey Lance could put up was a 13-for-28 day for 164 passing yards. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 2!
Heisenberg
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Heisenberg collectively recorded only two catches on five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 2!
