Coach Talk

Burrows before Hoes
Assembling a lineup that won by more than 33 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum going as we move on to what could be a favorable matchup in Week 6.
SMOKES TEAM 💀
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for SMOKES TEAM 💀 collectively recorded three catches on only four measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 6!
