Coach Talk

Tatanka
Whoa, Tatanka, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this shellacking. Not only did you win by almost 26 points, you also climbed from third place to first in the league standings!
TheSquirter
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 25 targets in Week 6. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they notched only 12 receptions.
