Coach Talk

MOBSQUAD
Listen, MOBSQUAD, we applaud you on the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to deploy a starter with negative points (plus a zero-point player) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Outlaws
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting RBs for Outlaws collectively recorded just one catch on three measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up some screen plays in Week 5!
