Coach Talk

JT's Impressive Team
Listen JT's Impressive Team, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 632.76 points through Week 6, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 573.08 we needed for this past week's win!
Kupps cup
Unless Kupps cup wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough looks" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 23 targets in Week 7. With only 14 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
