Coach Talk

Pai Mei
You know Pai Mei, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 418.73 points through Week 4, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 367.79 we needed to win this past week!
River City Crush 0-1
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 21 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group recorded only 12 catches.
