Coach Talk

NMSaints
Nice work, NMSaints. Kudos on fielding a lineup that won by nearly 12 points this past week. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Cash Money, and continue on our way towards the Shane Falco Invitational league title.
Cash Money
Unless Cash Money wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really an excuse this time around. Our four wide receivers were targeted a whopping 39 times in Week 3. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group recorded only 22 catches.
