Coach Talk

Tommy P
You know Tommy P, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 135.09 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 116.95 we needed to win this past week!
TheGurleyBoyz
TheGurleyBoyz will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a whopping 26 targets in Week 5. With just 15 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
