Coach Talk

Deep Ballin'
Getting the win is most important, Deep Ballin', but we've also identified one spot where we should get stronger as a team. Our starting QB was severely outplayed this past week. Jared Goff went 26-of-33 for 465 yards and five touchdowns for Brees Knees, and all Josh Allen could manage through the air was 151 passing yards and two ugly interceptions. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 5!
Brees Knees
"Not seeing many chances" isn't an excuse this week for Brees Knees. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 41 targets in Week 4. With only 24 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
