Coach Talk

Dalvin and the Chipmunks
Wow, Dalvin and the Chipmunks, have you been practicing any gymnastics lately? Not only did you win by 35 points, you also vaulted over four other teams to fourth place in the league standings!
irish's Best Team
Unless irish's Best Team wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" can't be a valid excuse this time around. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 18 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group notched just 11 catches.
