Coach Talk

Hug It Out Bitch
Well done, Hug It Out Bitch. Nice work fielding a starting crew that earned 130 points in Week 1. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 2.
Simmons
Talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Simmons collectively logged just a couple of targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
