Coach Talk

Pops's Beerpounders
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Pops's Beerpounders! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve... our running backs were severely outplayed this past week. Devonta Freeman (10 total yards, no TDs) and Kareem Hunt (64 yards, one TD) combined for just 43 points in Week 3, and the starting backfield for El Tigre doubled us up with a score of 101.51. Let's put some extra effort into scouting these upcoming defenses!
El Tigre
Look, El Tigre, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly show up out of nowhere. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! Okay, okay... asking for an additional 37 points may be a bit on the excessive side.
