Coach Talk

TheNigerianNightmare
You know TheNigerianNightmare, 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 spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 3,218.8 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 2,551 we needed for this past week's win!
C the Priest
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for C the Priest collectively registered a couple of receptions on just three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 7!
