Coach Talk

Captain Kirk
Good job deploying a starting crew that netted nearly 106 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done.
Clever Pun
With literally zero passes thrown their way this past week the starting running backs for Clever Pun clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it down more frequently.
