Coach Talk

Illmatic
Whoa, Illmatic, you put the rest of the league on notice with this performance. Not only did you win by more than 18 points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings!
Mamba43ver
"Not seeing many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Mamba43ver. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 38 times in Week 8. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 21 catches.
