Coach Talk

The Firing Squad
Getting the win is most important, The Firing Squad, but we definitely know of one spot where we should improve as a team. Our running backs were thoroughly outclassed by the opposition. Miles Sanders (59 total yards, no TDs) logged only 23.2 points in Week 2. Najee Harris and Christian McCaffrey doubled us up with a score of 51.8. We need to work with the O-line to find some more holes in Week 3!
Just The Tua Us
Keep your head held high, Just The Tua Us! Trust us on this one, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, your fans get a little whiny, and the local beat writers turn chippy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
