Coach Talk

One--Eyed--Willie
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by over 96 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our next challenge in Week 2.
West's Dominators
"Not seeing enough chances" won't be an excuse this week for West's Dominators. Our six pass-catchers (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 1. With only 24 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
