Coach Talk
Str8CashHomey
Whoa, that Packers defense didn't stand a chance! 29 connections on 36 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Str8CashHomey has to be grateful for the attention to detail.
Mario's Team
Unless Mario's Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is not an excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 25 targets in Week 3. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group managed only 15 receptions.
