Coach Talk

Teraformator Kicia
Nice work deploying a starting crew that posted 144.69 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what should be a favorable matchup in Week 8.
Safety Third
Unless Safety Third wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 38 times in Week 7. With just 23 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
