Coach Talk

Doughboys
Assembling a starting crew that netted over 144 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should tip our cap to the GM of Negligent Discharges, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Negligent Discharges
Unless Negligent Discharges wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 34 targets in Week 3. With just 19 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
