Coach Talk

The Maniacs
Bravo on deploying a lineup that registered 163 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
Vizzéteers
With a couple of receptions on only three targets this past week, the starting running backs for Vizzéteers should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
