Coach Talk

Boom in the Endzone
You know Boom in the Endzone, the good news is that we won this matchup by a staggering 29 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through five weeks was 93.8. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Throw up the X
Throw up the X will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to get a hearty 14 targets in Week 6. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they managed only eight receptions.
