Coach Talk

Andy Behrens
Whoa, Andy Behrens, you really made a statement to your leaguemates with this blowout. Not only did you win by 25.7 points, you also climbed a ridiculous three spots in the league standings!
Howard Bender
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Howard Bender collectively logged one reception on just two measly targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up a screen play or two in Week 6!
