Coach Talk

Godzillasmash
Only one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Brandon McManus may have just toe-bashed himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
AL's Warriors
AL's Warriors will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 29 times in Week 9. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
