Coach Talk

Futbolistas
Deploying a starting crew that recorded more than 110 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. Let's take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of AtomicDawgs19, and continue on our way towards the SmackTalk XIX league championship.
AtomicDawgs19
Logging zero catches on just one target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for AtomicDawgs19 should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
