Coach Talk

Ultimate Badasses
Nice job, Ultimate Badasses. Bravo on assembling a starting crew that netted more than 236 points in Week 3. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our next matchup in Week 4.
Red Storm
Logging one reception on just two targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Red Storm should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
