Coach Talk

SAWTOOTHS
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, SAWTOOTHS. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Robby Anderson), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Warm Bodies
Warm Bodies may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. Our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 24 times in Week 8. With only 11 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
