Coach Talk

TEAM JMAR
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A staggering 29 completions on 30 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 97 percent for Drew Brees this past week. That Colts secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
2 kickers
Fortunately, this week's problem was pretty easy to spot, 2 kickers. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Rams defense and Cam Newton in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
