Coach Talk

We Want the Funk
Props to you, We Want the Funk. Nice work fielding a lineup that blew the opposition out by over 78 points in Week 1. Let's keep this momentum as we step into what might be a favorable Week 2 matchup.
Game of Jones
Talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting backfield for Game of Jones collectively registered one catch on only two measly targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
