Coach Talk

The Big CHANG Theory
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? It's quite possible that Greg Joseph just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Touchdown T
Talk about under-utilized: As a group, the starting RBs for Touchdown T collectively logged just one measly target this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 4!
