Coach Talk

Pounders
Listen Pounders, 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 478.46 points through Week 3, our crew has definitely proven that it's even stronger than the 441.47 we needed to win this past week!
Press Coverage
Unless Press Coverage wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really a viable excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) combined to get a hearty 22 targets in Week 4. With just 13 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
