Coach Talk

Team Scooter
Wow, Team Scooter, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. In addition to a 20.46-point victory, you also jumped up two places in the league standings... right into the thick of playoff contention
Sooneye
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 7. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they managed just 14 catches.
