Coach Talk

The Willowdale 46
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, The Willowdale 46. It takes moxie to start a player with zero points (O.J. Howard), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
THE CIRCLE
"Not seeing enough looks" isn't a reasonable excuse this week for THE CIRCLE. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 31 targets in Week 2. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 15 receptions.
