Coach Talk

Dirty Dogs
You know Dirty Dogs, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 17 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 4 stood at 153.05. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Enforcers
Yo, Enforcers, what did your pass-catchers do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? With just 11 total targets in Week 5, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
