Coach Talk

Kookz
It cannot be overstated just how critical tight victories like this are for team chemistry. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... expect the Kookz locker room to really gel heading into Week 7.
Lyle's Legendary Team
"Not seeing many looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Lyle's Legendary Team. Our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 49 times in Week 6. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group tallied just 29 catches.
