Coach Talk

Valley Vikings
Props to you, Valley Vikings. Nice job deploying a lineup that netted more than 282 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 3 matchup.
No Mercy
With only three receptions this past week, the starting running backs for No Mercy should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
