Coach Talk

HUNGRY DOG
Putting together a lineup that tallied 134.62 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Sea Devil, and continue the march towards the Football for Smart People league title.
Sea Devil
Sea Devil may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively received a grand total of 28 targets in Week 1. With just 16 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
