Coach Talk

Homebrew Homies
Hey, it's good to be confident, Homebrew Homies. It takes real gumption to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Jordan Reed, Derek Barnett, and Marcus Peters), while still getting the W.
Crown Royal
With only two catches this past week, the starting running backs for Crown Royal should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
