Coach Talk

Team Unlimited
We do respect the confidence this past week, Team Unlimited. Deploying a player with zero points (Brandon McManus), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky.
Deflated Balls
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for Deflated Balls collectively registered just three targets this past week.
