Coach Talk

Ya Gotta McKinnon Me
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Ya Gotta McKinnon Me! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our QB was thoroughly outplayed this past week. Drew Brees went 30-of-39 for 311 yards and three touchdowns for Luke Skywokka, and all Carson Wentz could manage through the air was 256 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions). We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Luke Skywokka
With three catches on only four targets this past week, the starting RBs for Luke Skywokka clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
