Coach Talk

Dystorted Sylence
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Dystorted Sylence... our starting running backs were clearly outclassed by the opposition. Joshua Kelley (38 total yards, no TDs) and Antonio Gibson (51 yards, no TDs) combined for only 11.9 points in Week 5, and the starting backfield for Hurricane Gingy doubled us up with a score of 29.5. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 6!
Hurricane Gingy
"Not seeing many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Hurricane Gingy. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 36 targets in Week 5. With just 22 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
