Coach Talk

Heisenberg
Nice work assembling a lineup that tallied 136.72 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. Let's tip our cap to the GM of ATL Steel Town, take this win in stride, and continue on our way towards the No Punt Intended league title.
ATL Steel Town
Recording three catches on only four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for ATL Steel Town should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
