Coach Talk

Grid Iron Kings
Who really cares if you ultimately slid from ninth place to 10th this past week... the important thing here is that your team won the matchup. Stay laser-focused week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
El Tigre
With just three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for El Tigre should remind their QBs to dump it down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
