Coach Talk

Yokohama Zets
Yo, Yokohama Zets, you got friends at NASA or something? In addition to a nearly 26-point victory, you also launched yourself up to sixth place in the league standings!
absolutereckless
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for absolutereckless. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 21 targets in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group pulled down only 12 catches.
