Coach Talk

Alaskan Big Hammers
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 144.62 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should keep this momentum as we move on to our Week 14 matchup.
Zachary's Team
Recording two receptions on only three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Zachary's Team should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
