Coach Talk

Lights Kamara Action
You know Lights Kamara Action, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 243.26 points through Week 8, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 226.2 we needed for this past week's win!
NY/NJ Connection
Hey, NY/NJ Connection, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only eight targets combined in Week 9, our five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) obviously need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
