Coach Talk

Shadynasty
Hey Shadynasty, the good news is that we took this matchup by over zero points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through six weeks was 170.28. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Fat Donkeyz
Whoa now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Fat Donkeyz collectively recorded just five targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 8!
