Coach Talk

FreshPrinceOfHelaire
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, FreshPrinceOfHelaire! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting QB was thoroughly outmatched by the opposition. Tom Brady went 30-of-46 for 369 yards and five touchdowns for Manthigh te'o, and all Jared Goff could muster was a 25-for-32 outing, with 200 yards and one passing TD. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 5!
Manthigh te'o
It's entirely possible that Manthigh te'o could be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only five total targets in Week 4, their two wide receivers apparently did a superb job blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
