Coach Talk

Tampa Thunder
Deploying a lineup that got to triple digits this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our Week 3 matchup.
Bucco Bruce
Unless Bucco Bruce wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this week. Our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 23 times in Week 2. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they notched only 13 catches.
