Coach Talk

Night Hawk
You know Night Hawk, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 200.9 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 165.7 we needed for this past week's win!
Naked Bootlegs
Just like the league's tackling rules, remember to keep your head up, Naked Bootlegs! Listen, we've been at it long enough to realize that sometimes four extra points will just suddenly come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! Keep chipping away and good things will eventually happen.
