Coach Talk

Greg's Grinders
Assembling a starting crew that posted over 297 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of 5Fingers2YoFace, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
5Fingers2YoFace
5Fingers2YoFace may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively got a healthy 47 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in only 28 receptions.
