Coach Talk

Galloping Ghosts
You know Galloping Ghosts, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 202.22 points through Week 3, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 165.38 we needed for this past week's win!
Rising Surf
Unless Rising Surf wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 4. With just 14 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
