Coach Talk

ballthemblack's Swell Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, ballthemblack's Swell Team. Deploying not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Cody Hollister, Michael Bandy, and Scotty Miller), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
The Steele Curtain
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for The Steele Curtain collectively registered only five targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 12!
