Coach Talk

The Air Raid
Nice job, The Air Raid. Deploying a team that won by 19.58 points this past matchup.
The Corporate Clowns
Registering only two receptions on four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Corporate Clowns clearly need to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
