Coach Talk

michael's Team
Putting together a starting crew that won by almost 17 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done. We should keep this momentum going as we head into what will surely be a challenging Week 2 matchup.
PatrickD's Team
Logging just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for PatrickD's Team obviously should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
