Coach Talk

🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Deploying a lineup that netted 172.48 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into our next challenge in Week 9.
My Broken Johnson
Unless My Broken Johnson wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many looks" is not a reasonable excuse this time around. As a group, our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 43 targets in Week 8. With just 26 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
