Coach Talk

REAL DEAL AjiPhil !
It just cannot be overstated how critical tight wins like this can be for team chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while triumphing in the face of adversity... expect the REAL DEAL AjiPhil ! locker room to really gel entering Week 16.
Tamil Tigers
Recording just a pair of receptions on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Tamil Tigers should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
