Coach Talk

Boondock Saints 16
Earning the win is most important, Boondock Saints 16, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team: our quarterback was significantly outclassed this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for just 10.78 points in Week 10, and the QBs for Ditka Butkus doubled us up with a score of 22.46. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Ditka Butkus
"Not seeing many looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Ditka Butkus. As a group, our six pass-catchers (four WR and two TE) collectively received a grand total of 34 targets in Week 10. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied only 15 catches.
