Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
You know Negligent Discharges, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 160.48 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 118.9 we needed to win this past week!
Cocks
Unless Cocks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many looks" can't be a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 6. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group reeled in only 12 receptions.
