Coach Talk

Greg's Grinders
Well done, Greg's Grinders. Fielding a team that tallied more than 297 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum as we head into our Week 6 matchup.
Gringo's Team
"Not seeing enough chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Gringo's Team. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 43 targets in Week 5. With only 25 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
