Coach Talk

Excellence of Execution
You know Excellence of Execution, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 889.84 points through Week 9, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 574 we needed to win this past week!
LegendaryDropShot
"Not seeing many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for LegendaryDropShot. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 23 targets in Week 10. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just six catches.
