Coach Talk

Assimilate THIS
Bravo, Assimilate THIS. Good work assembling a starting crew that almost got to a "hundo" this past matchup. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Warriors, and continue pushing forward to the 'We are the Borg' league championship.
Warriors
Warriors may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our two wide receivers were targeted a healthy 15 times in Week 1. With just nine total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
