Coach Talk

Grapevine Gunslinger
Putting together a starting crew that won by a whopping 136 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 10 matchup.
Iowa Barnstormers
Unless Iowa Barnstormers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 37 targets in Week 9. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group managed only 20 receptions.
