Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
Hey, the key to football is spotting the mismatches. Fueled by a solid performance by Matt Ryan, we utterly dominated Zhuānyuán 專員 at the quarterback position this past week (48.16 points to 9.2). Ryan may not have earned the win for the Falcons, but he sure gave us a leg up by going 26-of-35 for 374 yards and five passing TDs.
Zhuānyuán 專員
Unless Zhuānyuán 專員 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 3. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group pulled down just 20 catches.
