Coach Talk

Pulsechamber
Well done, Pulsechamber. Putting together a team that won by 18.78 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next challenge in Week 6.
Tds and Beer
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) combined to get a healthy 29 targets in Week 5. With only 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
