Coach Talk

Zach's Standout Team
Kudos on deploying a starting crew that earned 75.56 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right.
The Dude Abides
Logging only one catch on three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for The Dude Abides should remind their quarterbacks to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
