Coach Talk

The Comeback Kid
Earning the win is most important, The Comeback Kid, but we've also identified one spot where we should get better as a team. Our wide receivers were thoroughly outclassed this past week. Laviska Shenault Jr. (-3 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Sterling Shepard (94 yards, no TDs) combined for only 8.2 points in Week 2. For Petey T's Truthers, Davante Adams and Cooper Kupp showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 39.9. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
Petey T's Truthers
Keep your head held high, Petey T's Truthers! Trust us, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn nit-picky with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that in the world of fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
