Coach Talk

GridIron Bullies
Kudos to you, GridIron Bullies. Nice job fielding a starting crew that registered 302 points in Week 5. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 6.
Warlocks
Warlocks will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 5. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in just eight balls.
