Coach Talk

Jim's Choice Team
Well done, Jim's Choice Team. Assembling a lineup that won by more than 10 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 2.
David's Team
"Not seeing many opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for David's Team. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 1. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 14 catches.
