Coach Talk

Jersey Giants
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way to put it, Jersey Giants. Our quarterback was thoroughly outmatched this past week. Our one signal-callers combined for only 14.42 points in Week 5, while the QBs for Calloway Colts doubled us up with a score of 35.16. We need to put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Calloway Colts
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the Finals. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Cade York might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this performance.
