Coach Talk

zhwq2002
So what if your team ultimately took a step back in the standings this past week... the important thing here is that you got the W. Remain laser-focused like this and the results are sure to follow.
Fishbone
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Fishbone. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 5. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in only nine receptions.
