Coach Talk

SECFOR Sixers
Here's a list of scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Chris Boswell might have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Vandals
Hey, it's possible that Vandals would be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With only 20 total targets this past week, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
