Coach Talk

Saul Elizarraras
We do respect the confidence this past week, Saul Elizarraras. It takes real gumption to deploy not one, not two, but SEVEN starters with zero points while still getting the win. Try those shenanigans next week against CROWN ME #1 and see what happens.
Patrick's Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 48 times in Week 6. With just 27 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
