Coach Talk

Uptown Soldiers
Listen Uptown Soldiers, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 158.3 points through Week 3, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 146.56 we needed to win this past week!
The Mad King
"Not getting enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for The Mad King. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 14 targets in Week 4. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group pulled down only seven balls.
