Coach Talk

Second half scrubs
Putting together a lineup that won by 13.6 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
U-25 All-Stars
Well, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, U-25 All-Stars. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Rams defense in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again.
