Coach Talk

The Bonesmashers
Nice job, The Bonesmashers. Bravo on assembling a lineup that won by 10 points this past matchup.
Tayda's Tots
Hey, it's possible that Tayda's Tots may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating just five total targets this past week, their three wide receivers apparently made most of their contributions by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
