Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
You know Gringo's Team, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 261.54 points through Week 4, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 232.85 we needed to win this past week!
One--Eyed--Willie
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 28 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group pulled down just 17 receptions.
