Coach Talk

Heavy Doobage
Well done, Heavy Doobage. Good work fielding a lineup that registered more than 32 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 2 matchup.
Mario's Team
"Not getting many opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Mario's Team. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 33 times in Week 1. With only 17 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
