Coach Talk

Lucky Enuf
You know Lucky Enuf, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 168.34 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 140.15 we needed for this past week's win!
Whackers
"Not getting many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Whackers. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to see a healthy 39 targets in Week 5. With only 23 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
