Coach Talk

50 shades of whey
Mission accomplished, 50 shades of whey. Good work assembling a starting crew that registered 174.46 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
The Little Giants
"Not getting many looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for The Little Giants. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 44 times in Week 1. With only 24 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
