Coach Talk

Warriors of Angels
Getting the win is most important, Warriors of Angels, but we do know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Held back by Chris Godwin (40 total yards, no TDs) and JuJu Smith-Schuster (81 yards, one TD), our three WRs combined for only 24 points in Week 3. The starting wideouts for MARTIANS doubled us up with a score of 56. Let's put some extra effort into studying those playbooks!
MARTIANS
"Not getting many looks" isn't an excuse this week for MARTIANS. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 38 times in Week 3. With only 17 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
