Coach Talk

Mr. Z & the NE DST
Putting together a starting crew that won by more than 20 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to what will surely be a challenging matchup in Week 7.
Jiwei's Swag Team
Producing just a pair of catches on four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Jiwei's Swag Team should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it down more frequently.
