Coach Talk

8th
Whoa now 8th, that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 89% for Russell Wilson this past week. Quality and quantity! The Falcons defense didn't see it coming! We know the manager of 8th has got to be thankful for the precision and attention to detail.
Robert's Team
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for Robert's Team collectively logged just three targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up some screen plays in Week 2!
