Coach Talk

Can u feel da Brees?
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Can u feel da Brees?. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Levine Toilolo and Damien Williams), while still earning a W. Try those shenanigans next week against Kerri's Grand Team and we're sure to be toast!
Da Brady bunch
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (two WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 17 times in Week 3. With just nine total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
