Coach Talk

THE CIRCLE
You know THE CIRCLE, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 201.4 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 167 we needed to win this past week!
Hyenas Gon' Eat
Unless Hyenas Gon' Eat wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 30 targets in Week 6. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied just 13 catches.
