Coach Talk

Philippians 4.13
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A staggering 31 connections on 38 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 82 percent for Josh Allen this past week. The Seahawks secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
CagekickinGrunt
Hey, it's possible that CagekickinGrunt might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 16 targets combined this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
