Coach Talk

Beloglavi
Getting the win is most important, Beloglavi, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team; our running backs were thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. James Conner (37 yards from scrimmage, one TD) logged just 8 points in Week 5, while the starting backfield for Desert Eagles nearly quadrupled us with a score of 30. We need to bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 6!
Desert Eagles
Unless Desert Eagles wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 24 times in Week 5. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group hauled in just 14 balls.
