Coach Talk

The J Train
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, The J Train. It takes true moxie to start a player with negative points (Greg Zuerlein) while still earning a win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Broke Ditkas
Well, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Broke Ditkas. Choosing to start Jadeveon Clowney, D'Andre Swift, and Nick Foles in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up nearly 214 points... let's consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again.
