Coach Talk

Meatmonger
Listen Meatmonger, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 131.56 points through Week 5, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 121 we needed to win this past week!
iCuRaRook
Unless iCuRaRook wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 28 targets in Week 6. With only 14 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
