Coach Talk

Butt Ruckers
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Butt Ruckers! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our wide receivers were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Held back by A.J. Green (three total yards, no TDs) and Cedrick Wilson (34 yards, no TDs), our four WRs combined for just 8.5 points in Week 4. The starting wideouts for Mayfields almost tripled us up with a score of 23.8. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Mayfields
Normally, missing a field goal isn't any reason to worry. Having said that, Dan Bailey went 1-for-2 on FGs instead of 2-for-2, and Mayfields lost the matchup by 1.3 points. Talk about impeccable timing...
