Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Listen, Dirty Hippies, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Randall Cobb), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Dead Again and see what happens!
DominationStation
DominationStation will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 6. With only 18 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
