Coach Talk

tardy perch
Well done, tardy perch. Putting together a starting crew that won by 84.7 points in Week 5. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Strikers, take this victory in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
Strikers
Unless Strikers wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough opportunities" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 5. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they tallied just 18 receptions.
