Coach Talk

Daniel's Team
Listen Daniel's Team, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 108.89 points through Week 8, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 86.1 we needed to win this past week!
Henry's Team
Henry's Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 20 times in Week 9. With just nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
