Coach Talk

Joshua's Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, Joshua's Team. Deploying a starter with zero points (Matt Bryant), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Patrick's Team
With one reception on only two measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Patrick's Team should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
