Coach Talk

Royal Pita
You know what, Royal Pita, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (David Montgomery and David Njoku), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Eponas and we'll be toast.
Dirty Dan's Seahawks
Unless Dirty Dan's Seahawks wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 24 targets in Week 6. With only 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
