Coach Talk

Spider Monkeys 3
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline excusable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's just about it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Sounds like Wil Lutz might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of effort.
Duberss's Team
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Duberss's Team collectively recorded three catches on only four measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 15!
