Coach Talk

The Soulja
Nice job, The Soulja. Assembling a lineup that recorded 180.71 points in Week 6. Let's keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 7.
Cooking with Defense
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 35 times in Week 6. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 20 balls.
