Coach Talk

Double Tap Kap
Yo, Double Tap Kap, you put the rest of the league on notice with this dominant effort. Not only did you win by 84 points, you also climbed from eighth place to sixth in the league standings!
Wish A MF Would
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 3. With only 12 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
