Coach Talk

Enforcers
Listen, Enforcers, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to field a player with negative points (Avery Williams) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
ExigentCircumstances
Fortunately, ExigentCircumstances, Week 11's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Jason Sanders in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 147 points... let's all put this behind us and move on.
