Coach Talk

Game of Jones
Assembling a starting crew that won by more than 52 points this past week... we did what we had to do and took care of business. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Kittle Me This, and continue on our way towards the Too Many Californians league title.
Kittle Me This
Registering just four targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Kittle Me This should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
