Coach Talk

larry's Team
Good work deploying a lineup that won by more than 38 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Raiders soul smasher, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to the Chi2la league championship.
Raiders soul smasher
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our six pass-catchers (five WR, one TE) combined to see a respectable 36 targets in Week 1. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group recorded just 22 receptions.
