Coach Talk

Football Giants
Mission accomplished, Football Giants. Good work fielding a lineup that tallied 111.6 points in Week 1. We should take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Blue Crabs, and continue our march towards the KFFL XIX league title.
Blue Crabs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 1. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just seven catches.
