Coach Talk

Jake's Swag Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Jake's Swag Team. It takes moxie to field a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Waynes Wacky Weasels
Unless Waynes Wacky Weasels wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 35 times in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 19 catches.
