Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Getting the win is most important, PIERMONSTERS, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team: our quarterbacks were clearly outplayed this past week. Our two signal-callers combined for only 46.1 points in Week 2, while the QBs for The Overkiller's doubled us up with a score of 97.9. Let's put some extra effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
The Overkiller's
The Overkiller's will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 40 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group tallied just 24 catches.
