Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Getting the win is most important, Pulsechamber, but we definitely know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting wide receivers were clearly outplayed by the opposition. Allen Robinson II (50 total yards, no TDs) logged only 10.9 points in Week 3. For Wildebeasts, Amari Cooper and Odell Beckham Jr. showed us up by recording a score of 28.6. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Wildebeasts
With zero reception on only one target this past week, the starting RBs for Wildebeasts should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
