Coach Talk

POBG III
Nice work deploying a starting crew that won by over 36 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
CrunchBunch 38G
"Not getting many opportunities" isn't a viable excuse this week for CrunchBunch 38G. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 1. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group notched only 18 receptions.
