Coach Talk

Evil Empire
Putting together a starting crew that won by 10.68 points this past week... we deem that to be a job done right.
Shyde
Three RBs, two WRs, one TE, zero TDs: The six starting offensive skill players on Shyde combined to register a whopping 367 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could find his way to the end zone in Week 15.
