Coach Talk

A Taste of the Herb
Deploying a lineup that posted almost 192 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
GloriouslyVictorious
Registering only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for GloriouslyVictorious should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
