Coach Talk

Nasty biters
Whoa, Nasty biters, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by nearly 22 points, you also climbed two spots in the league standings... right into the thick of playoff contention
Mountain Climbing Jellyfish
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Mountain Climbing Jellyfish. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 6. With only nine total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
