Coach Talk

Molly Hatchet
Props on deploying a lineup that netted more than 148 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what will surely be a tricky matchup in Week 7.
WinterbothamWankers
Unless WinterbothamWankers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a healthy 22 targets in Week 6. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
