Coach Talk

TX4vida
Whoa, TX4vida, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. Along with a nearly 62-point victory, you also climbed from 13th place to 10th in the league standings. Nice job!
Sandbagging
Unless Sandbagging wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 36 times in Week 5. With only 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
