Coach Talk

Hurts Like Hill
Hey, at least there were no "excessive celebration" penalties: The four offensive position starters (two WRs, one RB, one TE) on Hurts Like Hill combined to register a healthy 276 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group was able to score a touchdown in Week 7.
SteelTown Rockstar
Unless SteelTown Rockstar wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and two TE) combined to receive a grand total of 26 targets in Week 7. With only 16 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
