Coach Talk

Outlaws
Putting together a lineup that produced 242.5 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. We should maintain this momentum as we roll into what will surely be a difficult matchup in Week 9.
Fania's Team
Recording only a pair of targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Fania's Team should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
