Coach Talk

Debo
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Debo! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our wide receivers were severely outplayed this past week. Ja'Marr Chase (32 yards from scrimmage, one TD) logged just 11.6 points in Week 8. The starting wideouts for 98 DarkPink Balloons tripled us up with a score of 40.1. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 9!
98 DarkPink Balloons
With only one catch this past week, the starting running backs for 98 DarkPink Balloons should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
