Coach Talk

Mutinous Apes
Nice work deploying a lineup that won by over 41 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
Brewmasters
Producing just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Brewmasters should remind their QBs to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
