Coach Talk

Hokus Pokus
Bravo, Hokus Pokus. Putting together a lineup that netted 125.52 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 2 matchup.
david's Team
Unless david's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not an excuse this week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched only 15 catches.
