Coach Talk

Seattle Seahawks
Putting together a starting crew that produced over 258 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Miami Dolphins, and continue the march towards the NFL Franchise Dynasty League title.
Miami Dolphins
Yo, Miami Dolphins, what did your receiving crew do to annoy their quarterbacks this week? Seeing just 20 total targets in Week 5, our nine starting pass-catchers (seven WR, two TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective signal-callers this week in practice.
