Coach Talk

DirtyMikeAndTheBoyzz
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by more than 31 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our next challenge in Week 6.
“Finding Deebo”
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for “Finding Deebo”. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 28 targets in Week 5. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
