Coach Talk

Rooster's
You know what, Rooster's, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Zane Gonzalez), while still getting a W... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
Team Tadlock
It's entirely possible that Team Tadlock may be a better talent scout in the NFL than in fantasy football. With just 13 total targets in Week 14, their four wide receivers apparently spent most of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
