Coach Talk

The Minor Prophets
Hey, now that's what we like to see! A superb 22 completions on 25 attempts this past week for Mr. Efficiency... Uh, sorry, I mean Ben Roethlisberger. The Panthers secondary didn't stand a chance! We know the manager of The Minor Prophets is grateful for the efficiency and attention to detail.
The Cutlass Cieras
Unless The Cutlass Cieras wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many looks" can't be a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 16 times in Week 10. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in only eight receptions.
