Coach Talk

Bulletproof Brandt
Whoa, Bulletproof Brandt, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 30 points, you also climbed a couple of places in the league standings!
Taurusman
Taurusman may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 10. With only 12 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
