Coach Talk

Kneecap biters
Hey Kneecap biters, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than 21 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're stronger than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through eight weeks was 153.71. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
The Whiteskins
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 18 times in Week 9. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down just 11 receptions.
