Coach Talk

Dirty Floonz Dood
Nice job assembling a lineup that won by nearly 14 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next matchup in Week 6.

Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to see a whopping 27 targets in Week 5. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 16 balls.
