Coach Talk

Mananas
You know Mananas, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 119.94 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 107.5 we needed for this past week's win!
Endzone Dance
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 45 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 27 catches.
