Coach Talk

Warm Bodies
Kudos on deploying a lineup that produced more than 150 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Rebel Alliance
With four catches on only five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Rebel Alliance should remind their QBs to check down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
