Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Here's a list of scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A double-fault in tennis, a hitter's line in baseball, and a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Greg Joseph might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
DominationStation
Unless DominationStation wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" isn't really an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 26 targets in Week 5. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 15 balls.
