Coach Talk

The Grandfather
Nice work assembling a starting crew that registered 158.53 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 6.
Bob Sugar
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 39 targets in Week 5. With only 22 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
