Coach Talk

Captain Kirk
Assembling a starting crew that produced almost 148 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into a tricky matchup in Week 10.
The Bad News Bears
Unless The Bad News Bears wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" is definitely not a valid excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) combined to get a grand total of 32 targets in Week 9. With just 19 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
