Coach Talk

Next Man Up!
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. The outcome? A superb 30 completions on 37 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 81 percent for Andrew Luck this past week. The Dolphins secondary didn't see it coming!.
DuckGang
Even though we didn't earn a victory this past week, let's remember to be thankful for the bounty of goodness that is fantasy football.
