Coach Talk

NorthwestSalmonbelli
Getting the win is most important, NorthwestSalmonbelli, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting quarterback was severely outclassed by the opposition. Lamar Jackson went 15-of-20 for 169 yards and five touchdowns for BallGrabbers, and all Russell Wilson could manage through the air was 200 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
BallGrabbers
With just three catches this past week, the starting RBs for BallGrabbers clearly need to look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
