Coach Talk

Sayers Monsters
Well done, Sayers Monsters. Assembling a starting crew that posted 111.62 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to what could be a favorable Week 2 matchup.
BuckeyeBall
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 39 targets in Week 1. With just 19 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
