Coach Talk

The Sleazenites
We're curious if the GM of The Sleazenites was sweating bullets in this one? In a matchup that was ultimately decided by only 2.08 points, Ryan Succop (2-for-3 on the day) decided that going 3-for-3 on field goals would've been just a bit too boring. Remember folks, every point matters!
Cuttlefish
With just three catches on five targets this past week, the starting RBs for Cuttlefish should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
