Coach Talk

todd's Team
Deploying a starting crew that won by more than 21 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 10 matchup.
Easy Money
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 41 times in Week 9. With just 25 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
