Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Nice job deploying a lineup that won by more than 14 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Soonerjack, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
Soonerjack
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Soonerjack collectively recorded three receptions on just four measly targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 14!
