Coach Talk

MAX
Getting the win is most important, MAX, but we've also identified one spot where we can improve as a team. Our starting QBs were thoroughly outplayed this past week. Our two guys under center combined for just 17 points in Week 3, while the QBs for Obi Will Kenobi tripled us up with a score of 55. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 4!
Obi Will Kenobi
You can feel good knowing that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like MAX succeed... and perhaps one day, they can return the favor by taking a couple of defenses early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep your head held high, Obi Will Kenobi!
