Coach Talk

Pai Mei
You know Pai Mei, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 440.4 points through Week 7, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 354.49 we needed to win this past week!
Suitz Iannuzz
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Suitz Iannuzz. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 8. With only 18 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
