Coach Talk

YAC Boyz
You know YAC Boyz, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 86.12 points through Week 6, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outproducing the 71.26 we needed for this past week's win!
Mclaurin AD14
With only one catch this past week, the starting running backs for Mclaurin AD14 should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it down more frequently.
