Coach Talk

The Phantom Limbs
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, The Phantom Limbs! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our wide receivers were utterly outplayed this past week. Corey Davis (nine total yards, no TDs) and Tyreek Hill (76 yards, no TDs) combined for just 9 points in Week 8. For Wheezy, Allen Robinson II and DJ Chark Jr. doubled us up with a score of 20.1. We need to put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Wheezy
Wheezy will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 22 targets in Week 8. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 13 balls.
