Coach Talk

Enforcers
Nice work assembling a lineup that accounted for 164.65 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Vandals
One touchdown and four interceptions for Blake Bortles against the Packers this week. One win and four losses for Vandals on the 2018 season. Usually I'm pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house number gurus keep telling me that this is the kind of coincidence we gotta stay away from.
