Coach Talk

Mixon it Up
Wow, Mixon it Up, you put the rest of the league on notice with this blowout. Not only did you win by more than 23 points, you also jumped up from 10th place to eighth in the league standings!
Sprint Right Option
Sprint Right Option may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a whopping 31 targets in Week 9. With just 19 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
