Coach Talk

IN IT TO WIN IT
Putting together a starting crew that produced 355.58 points this past week... we did what we needed to and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Space Coast, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the Grid Iron Wars - idp league championship.
Space Coast
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our two wide receivers collectively got a grand total of 16 targets in Week 5. With only nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
