Coach Talk

Who Dat
We cannot overstate just how important close wins like this can be for the locker room. Persevering through obstacles and succeeding in the face of adversity... expect the Who Dat team chemistry to be sky-high riding into Week 7.
vampeta
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for vampeta collectively logged zero reception on only one target this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 7!
