Coach Talk

Jersey Boyz
Earning the win is most important, Jersey Boyz, but we've also identified one spot where we can get better as a team: our running backs were thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. James Conner (55 total yards, one TD) and Jordan Howard (62 yards, one TD) combined for only 43.2 points in Week 5. Sony Michel and Josh Jacobs doubled us up with a score of 87.6. Let's work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 6!
Wisner Cow Tippers
The good news is that there's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. Your upcoming opponents could take a peek at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Josh Jacobs and Sony Michel would in this situation and continue pounding away... catch those complacent GMs off-guard! Keep pushing forward, Wisner Cow Tippers!
