Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
Well done, Gringo's Team. Good work assembling a lineup that earned 275.55 points in Week 1. We should keep this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 2.
big diesel
big diesel will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, two TE) collectively saw a grand total of 22 targets in Week 1. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group managed only 11 catches.
