Coach Talk

Bradylicious
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Bradylicious. Deploying a starter with zero points (Duke Johnson), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant.
The Young Guns
Well, The Young Guns, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Starting T.J. Hockenson and Jason Pierre-Paul in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 202.73 points... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time?
