Coach Talk

Kaepital Punishment
Kudos to you, Kaepital Punishment. Nice work deploying a lineup that blew the competition out by a whopping 29.64 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we head into our next challenge in Week 5.
Tighten up Titans
Unless Tighten up Titans wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough opportunities" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our four wide receivers combined to see a whopping 28 targets in Week 4. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied only 17 catches.
