Coach Talk

ATLiens Vaxxxed Edition
Putting together a lineup that produced 214.69 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum going as we head into our next matchup in Week 9.
The Big Gronkowski
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a hearty 24 targets in Week 8. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group pulled down only 14 receptions.
