Coach Talk

The Taylor Park Boys
Only two field goals on four attempts? It's quite possible that Rodrigo Blankenship just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Mek-flix and cHill
Unless Mek-flix and cHill wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" cannot be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 51 targets in Week 5. With just 28 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
