Coach Talk

Larry's Team
Bravo on deploying a starting crew that posted 675.5 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Tidal Wave
Logging just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Tidal Wave should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
