Coach Talk

Eat it!
Earning the win is most important, Eat it!, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team; our wide receivers were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Jahan Dotson (10 total yards, no TDs) and Tyreek Hill (33 yards, no TDs) combined for only 6.3 points in Week 3. For SIXBURGH, Brandin Cooks and Deebo Samuel doubled us up with a score of 13.6. Let's sweet-talk the offensive coordinator to get some more targets in Week 4!
SIXBURGH
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 19 times in Week 3. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied only 10 receptions.
