Coach Talk

Brian McDougall
Listen Brian McDougall, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit lately, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 181.76 points through Week 4, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 168.44 we needed to win this past week!
Tyler's Tip-Top Team
With just one reception this past week, the starting running backs for Tyler's Tip-Top Team should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
