Coach Talk

MoTown Coneys
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, MoTown Coneys! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then we have found an area to improve; our starting QB was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 6.5 points in Week 16, and the QBs for DQ's Dandy Team showed us up by recording a score of 24.16.
DQ's Dandy Team
With only one reception this past week, the starting running backs for DQ's Dandy Team should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
