Coach Talk

Dez Nuts
Well done, Dez Nuts. Good job deploying a lineup that won by 15.68 points in Week 10. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 11.
Roy's Rad Team
"Not seeing enough opportunities" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Roy's Rad Team. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 10. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group hauled in only nine receptions.
