Coach Talk

Dj's Team
You know Dj's Team, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly two points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through nine weeks was 117.04. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Brian's Bulldogs
With only a couple of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Brian's Bulldogs should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
