Coach Talk

Reapers
You know what, Reapers, we do certainly respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Ed Oliver and Jamison Crowder), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Jaire's Island
Posting only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Jaire's Island clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
