Coach Talk

Huss Monkeys
Well done, Huss Monkeys. Good job fielding a lineup that tallied more than 161 points this past week. We should maintain this momentum as we step into our next challenge in Week 2.
Forty Whiner
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 20 targets in Week 1. With just 12 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
