Coach Talk

andre's Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, andre's Team. Deploying a player with zero points (Christian McCaffrey), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Bad News Bears
Bad News Bears will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 21 targets in Week 5. With only 12 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
