Coach Talk

Apollo
Just two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Jason Myers might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
BALLSWIN
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for BALLSWIN collectively registered only five targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 10!
