Coach Talk
The Placebo Arm
It just can't be overstated how critical tight victories like this are for the locker room. Overcoming tough obstacles and persevering in the face of adversity... we expect the The Placebo Arm team chemistry to be stronger than ever heading into Week 12.
The Phantom Limbs
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting RBs for The Phantom Limbs should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
