Coach Talk

JSchiZo5150's Tip-Top Team
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, JSchiZo5150's Tip-Top Team! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting wide receivers were significantly outclassed by the opposition. Our receiving corps produced only 14.1 points in Week 7. The starting wideouts for steelcity's Expert Team showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 35.8. Let's persuade the QB to get some more targets in Week 8!
steelcity's Expert Team
Producing three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for steelcity's Expert Team should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
