Coach Talk
Steel City 4Life
Nice work deploying a starting crew that netted nearly 107 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of SteelersRing7, and continue the march towards the League of Champions championship.
SteelersRing7
SteelersRing7 may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 8. With just 18 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
