Coach Talk

Bashers
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Bashers! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting running backs were utterly overmatched this past week. Our backfield produced just 13.9 points in Week 16, while the starting backfield for SPARTICUS doubled us up with a score of 30.9.
SPARTICUS
With only five catches this past week, the starting RBs for SPARTICUS should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
