Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Hey, it's good to be confident, Negligent Discharges. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alfred Morris), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Steel Reign and see what happens!
SAWTOOTHS
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 45 targets in Week 6. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down just 24 receptions.
