Coach Talk

Bert's Superb Team
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Bert's Superb Team. It takes moxie to roll out not one, not two, but NINE players with zero points while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
TeamBrickLesnar
Posting just four targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for TeamBrickLesnar should remind their QBs to dump it down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
