Coach Talk

Aiden's Amazing Team
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Greg Joseph just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Chester Rat's
Chester Rat's will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 29 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 13 receptions.
