Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Nice job deploying a starting crew that produced over 138 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
DominationStation
The problem in Week 14 isn't exactly rocket science, DominationStation. Starting Foster Moreau in a tough fantasy matchup... let's consider this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
