Coach Talk

Warm Bodies
Wow, Warm Bodies, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 37+ points, you also climbed from 11th place to ninth in the league standings. Nice job!
War Pony
Unless War Pony wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough looks" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 4. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they tallied just 17 receptions.
