Coach Talk

Cocks
Nice job, Cocks. Assembling a starting crew that earned 146.6 points this past matchup... we'll maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 10.
Negligent Discharges
"Not getting enough looks" is definitely not a reasonable excuse this week for Negligent Discharges. Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 35 targets in Week 9. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 21 receptions.
