Coach Talk

Pounders
Listen, Pounders, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Chase Young), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
West's Dominators
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for West's Dominators collectively recorded four receptions on just five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 12!
