Coach Talk

#1DolFan14
Getting the win is most important, #1DolFan14, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our starting wide receivers were significantly overmatched by the opposition. Buoyed by Antonio Brown (17 total yards, no TDs) and Robby Anderson (38 yards, no TDs), our three WRs combined for only 21.5 points in Week 2. The starting wideouts for Tha Dogg Pound doubled us up with a score of 47.1. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
Tha Dogg Pound
With only four receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Tha Dogg Pound should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
