Coach Talk

Dak to the Future
Hey, now that's what we're lookin' for! A completion percentage of 84 percent for Josh Allen this past week. Quality *and* quantity! The Rams secondary didn't stand a chance! We know the manager of Dak to the Future has got to be grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
Hoffman Hillbillies
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 30 targets in Week 1. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched just 10 receptions.
