Coach Talk

Pa-Saints
You know Pa-Saints, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 90 points through Week 9, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 65 we needed for this past week's win!
Gladiators
"Not getting enough chances" won't be a valid excuse this week for Gladiators. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a whopping 17 targets in Week 10. With just nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
