Coach Talk

Texas Rattlers
Well Texas Rattlers, the good news is that we took this matchup by 20 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 5 stood at 187.6. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Phantom X
Unless Phantom X wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this time around. Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a respectable 25 times in Week 6. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 15 receptions.
