Coach Talk

WE.Ted
Kudos on deploying a starting crew that won by 11.5 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 7.
Towns
Listen up, Towns! Look, we've been at it long enough to realize that sometimes free points can just magically show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases, like this week, they don't! Well, okay... finding an extra dozen points for you in this matchup probably would have taken some serious wizardry.
