Coach Talk

Tidal Wave
Putting together a starting crew that netted 650.48 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Easy Money, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the 1st and 10 league championship.
Easy Money
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 42 targets in Week 3. With just 22 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
