Coach Talk

WaiverWireWeirdo
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Joey Slye may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
David's Team
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for David's Team. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 25 times in Week 5. With only 15 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
