Coach Talk

Dakota Rayne to LA
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by more than 23 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Barcroft Motherchuckers
Unless Barcroft Motherchuckers wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is not a reasonable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 13 targets in Week 1. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they recorded just seven catches.
