Coach Talk

Jeff's Unbelievable Team
You know Jeff's Unbelievable Team, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 139.32 points through Week 7, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 113.88 we needed for this past week's win!
Andy Behrens
Unless Andy Behrens wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR and two TE) were targeted a grand total of 18 times in Week 8. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they hauled in just 10 catches.
