Coach Talk

Twisters
Listen Twisters, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 132.26 points through Week 12, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 86.5 we needed for this past week's win!
SA FURY
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, SA FURY. Choosing to start Adam Vinatieri in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just put this behind us and move on.
