Coach Talk

Colonel Sanders
Yo, Colonel Sanders, have you been practicing any gymnastics recently? Not only did you win by 23.75 points, you also vaulted over four other teams to fourth place in the league standings!
Wild Hogs2
Unless Wild Hogs2 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 24 times in Week 3. With only 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
