Coach Talk

Pain and Suffering
Good work assembling a lineup that won by over 10 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to our next challenge in Week 3.
FEAR THE NECKBEARD
Recording three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for FEAR THE NECKBEARD should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
