Coach Talk

Saddlers
You know what, Saddlers, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes guts to roll out a player with zero points (Chase Claypool), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
tommy's Legit Team
tommy's Legit Team will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 4. With just 17 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
