Coach Talk

Rookies
Getting the win is most important, Rookies, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team: our quarterback was thoroughly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 17 points in Week 4, while the QBs for Sunshine Boys showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 45. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 5!
Sunshine Boys
The problem this week is pretty easy to diagnose, Sunshine Boys. Choosing to start Tyrone Crawford in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 213 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
