Coach Talk

Redlegs
You know what, Redlegs, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Dede Westbrook), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. Try those shenanigans next week against Warm Bodies and see what happens.
Mutinous Apes
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 35 times in Week 9. With just 21 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
