Coach Talk

ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS
Lots of cake, no icing: The six offensive position starters on ROCK-n-REDRAIDERS (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register a whopping 371 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters was able to score a touchdown in Week 9.
Lazy Laughing Lizard
Unless Lazy Laughing Lizard wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 28 times in Week 9. With only 16 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
