Coach Talk

Bill Braski
Listen, Bill Braski, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Odell Beckham Jr.), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Danny's Dandy Team
"Not getting enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Danny's Dandy Team. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 25 targets in Week 8. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group recorded only 13 receptions.
