Coach Talk

Roughnecks
Putting together a lineup that won by 29.6 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
Dirty Hippies
With only two catches this past week, the starting running backs for Dirty Hippies should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
