Coach Talk

I Shot Plaxico
Listen I Shot Plaxico, 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 take the high road. Averaging 187.94 points through Week 9, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 168.4 we needed for this past week's win!
DIVINO
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a respectable 28 targets in Week 10. With just 14 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
