Coach Talk

PasadenvaKrunchtimeS
Well PasadenvaKrunchtimeS, the good news is that we took this matchup by over three points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through seven weeks was 122.94. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Guess not...
Unless Guess not... wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" can't be an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 20 times in Week 8. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 11 catches.
