Coach Talk

kennedy's Team
Listen kennedy's Team, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 133.35 points through Week 5, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 85.22 we needed to win this past week!
manuel's Super Team
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 16 targets in Week 6. Chemistry could be the primary problem, as that group recorded only nine catches.
