Coach Talk

Goldfinger Slingers
Kudos to you, Goldfinger Slingers. Nice work assembling a lineup that tallied 505.73 points this past week. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our Week 2 matchup.
Sharks
Sharks may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 33 targets in Week 1. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied just 20 receptions.
