Coach Talk

The Empire
You know The Empire, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 118.91 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 84.18 we needed for this past week's win!
11 Angry Men
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for 11 Angry Men collectively recorded a pair of catches on only three targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 13!
