Coach Talk

Air Raid
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Air Raid! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our QB was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Deshaun Watson went 18-of-25 for 234 yards and three touchdowns for Zhuānyuán 專員, and all Jameis Winston could manage through the air was 268 passing yards. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Zhuānyuán 專員
Unless Zhuānyuán 專員 wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" can't be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 27 targets in Week 13. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 14 catches.
