Coach Talk

Mananas
Listen Mananas, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 117.45 points through Week 5, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 106.76 we needed for this past week's win!
Firestorm
It's entirely possible that Firestorm may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just 10 targets as a group in Week 6, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
