Coach Talk

LIONPWR
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, LIONPWR! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our quarterbacks were significantly outplayed this past week. Our two men under center combined for just 33.1 points in Week 10, while the QBs for Budd Light doubled us up with a score of 67.2. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Budd Light
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a healthy 34 targets in Week 10. With just 20 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
