Coach Talk

Warlocks
Nice job, Warlocks. Putting together a lineup that won by more than 16 points this past matchup... we'll keep this momentum going as we roll into a tricky matchup in Week 4.
Harlem's Fifty
Unless Harlem's Fifty wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our three wide receivers were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 3. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they pulled down only 11 catches.
