Coach Talk

Citrus Coolers
Listen Citrus Coolers, the good news is that we won this matchup by over nine points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 5 stood at 104.17. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Steeler Nation
"Not seeing many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Steeler Nation. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 24 times in Week 6. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
