Coach Talk

Annandale Atom Bombs
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Annandale Atom Bombs. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (James Bradberry and Carl Lawson), while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant.
Laphroaig loosers
Well, Laphroaig loosers, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Going with several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time?
