Coach Talk

Lil’ Broncos
Hey, it's good to be confident, Lil’ Broncos. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Chicago Bears defense), while still earning the W... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
the Herbivores
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for the Herbivores collectively registered just one measly target this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 2!
