Coach Talk

Vinohrady Devils
Nice work, Vinohrady Devils. Kudos on deploying a starting crew that blew the opponent out by a whopping 24.68 points this past matchup. We should keep this momentum as we move on to what could be a favorable matchup in Week 7.
Raising Cardinals
Producing only three catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Raising Cardinals obviously should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
