Coach Talk

PimpinAintBrees-y
Kudos to you, PimpinAintBrees-y. Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 1,018 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Groin Strain
Unless Groin Strain wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting enough chances" isn't really a reasonable excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively received a respectable 27 targets in Week 1. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they recorded only 13 catches.
