Coach Talk

Full Chubb Energy
You know Full Chubb Energy, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 15 points. The *even better* news is that we know we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 5 stood at 136.34. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Slaytonbines
Slaytonbines will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 16 balls.
