Coach Talk

Demoni
Putting together a starting crew that won by a whopping 33 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 7 matchup.
Shelpas UTD
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, Shelpas UTD! Your next few opponents may look at your record and foolishly think they've got an easy matchup. Do what LeSean McCoy and Marshawn Lynch would in this situation and keep pounding away... catch these complacent managers snoozing!
