gotcha. thanks* Archived Message Posted by biclops on January 8, 2022, 18:31:20, in reply to "BB set target goals for IW, and I think Barker towards the end of the season.*" Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message But yeah I think it was pretty clear that things were not going well with Petersen. When the defensive head coach is setting target goals for players reps because he’s frustrated things aren’t going well for the OC And to be honest we all saw the poor offensive execution and playcalling.

He may have drafted it up, thought the better of it - ATL January 10, 2022, 16:26:06 I had no idea Twitter had a draft function. TIL.
