Coach Talk

The Cereal Killers
Hey The Cereal Killers, the good news is that we took this matchup by 12 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through Week 3 stood at 145.67. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
headhunters
Posting only two targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for headhunters should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
