Coach Talk

Cash Money
Kudos to you, Cash Money. Deploying a lineup that won by more than 35 points in Week 8. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to what should be a favorable matchup in Week 9.
The Flying Wedgies
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for The Flying Wedgies collectively recorded just a pair of catches on four measly targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 9!
