Coach Talk

Pack Rats
Bravo, Pack Rats. Assembling a starting crew that won by 39.74 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Charlie's Angels
Unless Charlie's Angels wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" cannot be a valid excuse this time around. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 5. With just 26 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
