Coach Talk

kevin's Rad Team
Getting the win is most important, kevin's Rad Team, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team. Our quarterback was severely outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 30-of-39 for 360 yards and five touchdowns for Hoodsta 2, and all Tom Brady could put up was an 18-for-27 day, with 212 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 2!
Hoodsta 2
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for Hoodsta 2 collectively recorded just three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
