Coach Talk
Steel Reign
Assembling a starting crew that won by a whopping 42.65 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right. Let's take this win in stride, tip our hat to the GM of War Pony, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
War Pony
"Not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for War Pony. Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 21 times in Week 4. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched only 12 catches.
