Coach Talk

brandon's Team
Hey, we admire the confidence, brandon's Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Zach Pascal), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Ditka vs. God and see what happens.
T's Wonderful Team
Hey now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for T's Wonderful Team collectively recorded just three targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 13!
