Coach Talk

MiracleMike
Deploying a lineup that posted 117.46 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 11.
LongLostChamp
With literally zero passes thrown their direction this past week the starting running backs for LongLostChamp should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
