Coach Talk

country roads
Listen, country roads, we do respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Greg Rousseau), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
We Pack the Meat
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for We Pack the Meat. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 37 targets in Week 5. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded only 19 receptions.
