Coach Talk
From Hurst to First
Nice job assembling a lineup that registered nearly 140 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Burrow Underground, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards the Tim Tebow Fan Club league title.
Burrow Underground
Burrow Underground may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 8. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group reeled in just 15 catches.
