Coach Talk

Vultures
Hey, we admire the confidence, Vultures. Deploying a player with zero points (Dallas Goedert), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against Redlegs and see what happens.
Warm Bodies
Warm Bodies will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) combined to receive a healthy 31 targets in Week 6. With only 16 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
