Coach Talk

Brewmasters
Kudos on assembling a lineup that won by nearly 43 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right.
Hooligans
With just five catches this past week, the starting running backs for Hooligans clearly need to look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
