Coach Talk

Jeff's Definitive Team
Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied over 135 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 2.
Richard's Rad Team
Richard's Rad Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 1. With only 14 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
