Coach Talk
Pack Rats
Mission accomplished, Pack Rats. Deploying a starting crew that tallied 281.48 points in Week 4. We should keep this momentum rolling as we step into our Week 5 matchup.
5Fingers2YoFace
Unless 5Fingers2YoFace wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 41 times in Week 4. With only 22 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
