Coach Talk

MangoKid
Deploying a starting crew that accounted for almost 198 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what will surely be a challenging matchup in Week 2.
BALLSWIN
Welp, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a hearty 32 targets in Week 1. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they reeled in just 19 catches.
