Coach Talk

ReelDeel
Mission accomplished, ReelDeel. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 19 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we step into our Week 9 matchup.
Touchdown Tigers
Touchdown Tigers may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 25 targets in Week 8. With only 13 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
