Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
Deploying a starting crew that won by a whopping 35.56 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's keep this momentum going as we step into what could be a favorable Week 2 matchup.
Alex Le's Team
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 13 times in Week 1. With just five total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
