Coach Talk

Ron Mexico
You know Ron Mexico, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 118.32 points through Week 7, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 90.12 we needed to win this past week!
Chicago Bears
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Chicago Bears collectively registered just one catch on three measly targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 9!
