Coach Talk

Pop's
Listen Pop's, the good news is that we won this matchup by 12 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 3 stood at 100.67. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
The Bonesmashers
Welp, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 4. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just 16 catches.
