Coach Talk

Dz’s last hope
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Dz’s last hope! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our quarterback was clearly outmatched this past week. Kirk Cousins went 31-of-41 for 425 yards and two touchdowns for it begins...for real, and all Derek Carr could manage through the air was 137 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
it begins...for real
Unless it begins...for real wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a healthy 35 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 21 balls.
