Coach Talk

DPRK Rocketmen
Listen DPRK Rocketmen, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 129.22 points through Week 5, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 103.88 we needed to win this past week!
Hamboners
Hamboners will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a hearty 21 targets in Week 6. With only 12 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
