Coach Talk

HindenburgGroundCrew
Deploying a lineup that won by 61.5 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
Kahunas
Recording just three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Kahunas should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
