Coach Talk

Patrick Mahomeless
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Patrick Mahomeless! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve: our starting wide receivers were severely overmatched by the opposition. Our receiving corps produced just 6.6 points in Week 8. The pass-catchers on eric's Team showed us up by recording a score of 24. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
eric's Team
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 22 targets in Week 8. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded just 12 catches.
