Coach Talk

Will0120
Listen Will0120, the good news is that we won this matchup by an impressive 21.67 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through four weeks was 113.49. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Gareth
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Gareth collectively logged just three catches on five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 6!
