Coach Talk

rayray
Listen rayray, the good news is that we took this matchup by 38.55 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through five weeks was 188.14. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Freeman Fighters
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 28 targets in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group hauled in only 17 balls.
