Coach Talk

darrington's Team
Now that's what we call righting the ship! The GM of darrington's Team shrugged off their four-game winless streak by putting up a tremendous 126.08 points this past week.
Wardawgs
"Not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Wardawgs. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 8. With only 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
