Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Wow, Negligent Discharges, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this shellacking. In addition to a nearly 63-point victory, you also jumped up from ninth place to seventh in the league standings. Nice work!
Redlegs
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) combined to receive a hearty 26 targets in Week 4. With just 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
