Coach Talk

The Xtreme
Whoa, that Bengals secondary didn't stand a chance! 22 connections on 25 attempts... good enough for a 88 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of The Xtreme is appreciative of the attention to detail.
ExigentCircumstances
Hey, it's possible that ExigentCircumstances might be a better talent scout in real football than in fantasy. With just 20 total targets in Week 10, their five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) apparently helped their teams' causes by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
