Coach Talk

Da Purps
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 45.68 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to what could be a winnable matchup in Week 12.
Ace 3
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Ace 3 collectively registered just a couple of targets this past week. Get those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 12!
