Coach Talk

DITKA
Nice job assembling a lineup that almost got to triple digits this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our next matchup in Week 2.
The Lovely Lads
The Lovely Lads will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively received a hearty 30 targets in Week 1. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in only 17 balls.
