Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Well done, Roughnecks. Deploying a team that recorded over 166 points in Week 10. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next matchup in Week 11.
Dirty Hippies
Dirty Hippies will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 10. With only 18 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
