Coach Talk

bladen's Unreal Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, bladen's Unreal Team. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Morgan Fox, Jaylon Ferguson, and Deatrich Wise Jr.), while still getting the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Hancocks Beast
Hancocks Beast will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group hauled in only nine catches.
