Coach Talk

COVID Protocols
Listen, COVID Protocols, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (the Cleveland Browns defense), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Demilo's Victorious Team
Unless Demilo's Victorious Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" is definitely not a viable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 32 targets in Week 5. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 18 receptions.
