Coach Talk

Nabuchodonozory
Putting together a lineup that earned more than 143 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of LA DZbans, take this win in stride, and continue our march towards the Mistrzostwa Polski - Liga D league title.
LA DZbans
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 15 times in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group managed just eight catches.
