Coach Talk

Blitzburgh
Deploying a starting crew that exceeded the century mark this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of Blue Dragons, take this W in stride, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
Blue Dragons
Posting only a couple of targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Blue Dragons should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
