Coach Talk

john's Astounding Team
Listen, john's Astounding Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Foster Moreau), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Michael's Marvelous Team
Posting just three catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Michael's Marvelous Team should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
