Coach Talk

Assimilate THIS
Bravo on assembling a lineup that accounted for 86.5 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Warriors, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Warriors
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and no touchdowns? We may have quite a dilemma on our hands here. Did Cam Newton seem shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Cardinals secondary just that stout against the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Warriors, as you deploy your lineup in Week 13 and beyond!
