Coach Talk

Dixie Normas
Nice job, Dixie Normas. Bravo on assembling a lineup that tallied 122.52 points in Week 3. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next challenge in Week 4.
What The Shit
What The Shit may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 20 times in Week 3. With only 11 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
