Coach Talk

Keen Tung Yuen cats
Nice work deploying a lineup that tallied more than 266 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into what will surely be a challenging Week 6 matchup.
Aiyukidding Me
"Not getting many looks" won't fly as an excuse this week for Aiyukidding Me. Our pass-catching corps (five WR, two TE) combined to see a grand total of 56 targets in Week 5. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 34 receptions.
