Coach Talk

Kansas City Kitty
So what if you ultimately slid to third place in the standings this past week... the important take-away here is that your squad won the matchup. Stay laser-focused like this and good things will eventually follow.
Omaha Orangatans
Unless Omaha Orangatans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 21 targets in Week 2. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded only 11 catches.
