Coach Talk

My New Cheesecloth
Props on deploying a lineup that won by over 65 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's take this W in stride, tip our cap to the GM of The Nuts, and continue our march towards the Et Le Touchdown 2017 league championship.
The Nuts
Unless The Nuts wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" is definitely not an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 36 targets in Week 3. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group managed only 21 catches.
