Coach Talk

Da Beagle Dawgs
Props on deploying a starting crew that produced over 116 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into what will surely be a challenging matchup in Week 4.
Rabid otters II
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 3. Chemistry seems to be an issue, as that group reeled in just 11 receptions.
