Coach Talk

sasukexiaodong
So what if you ended up taking a step back in the standings this past week... the important take-away here is that your team got the win. Remain laser-focused like this and good things are sure to follow.
Fishbone
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 5, right? The six starting offensive position players on Fishbone (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to register 304 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 4. Our opposition's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 501 yards and four scores.
