Coach Talk

Vinohrady Devils
Nice job assembling a starting crew that accounted for 167.72 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 3 matchup.
Poldi Steelers
"Not seeing enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Poldi Steelers. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a respectable 28 targets in Week 2. With only 16 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
