Coach Talk
War Pony
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by 15.5 points this past week. We took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we move on to our next challenge in Week 6.
SAWTOOTHS
The good news is that there's still a boatload of football left to be played. Your upcoming opponents may glance at your win-loss record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming! Keep your chin up, SAWTOOTHS!
