Coach Talk

BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
Three WRs, two RBs, one TE, zero TDs: The six starting offensive skill players on BaLLCHiNiaNzzz combined to record a whopping 523 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 1.
AA Ron Balakay
Unless AA Ron Balakay wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 30 times in Week 1. With only 17 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
