Coach Talk

Montys Dolphins
Listen, Montys Dolphins, we do respect the confidence. It takes guts to play a player with zero points (James Conner), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
richard's Team
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for richard's Team should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
