Coach Talk

🏟🏈👨‍💻
We do admire the confidence this past week, 🏟🏈👨‍💻. Deploying a starter with zero points (David Moore), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Toby Tortoise Part 2
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 5. With only 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
