Coach Talk

Redzboyz
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Redzboyz! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our QB was severely outclassed this past week. Kirk Cousins went 24-of-36 for 232 yards and two touchdowns for ricky's Awesome Team, and all Trevor Lawrence could manage through the air was 133 yards and one passing TD (plus two ugly interceptions). Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
ricky's Awesome Team
Hey, our crew was just resting up for next week, right? The seven offensive position starters on ricky's Awesome Team (four WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to record 539 yards and just four touchdowns in Week 8. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 872 yards and seven scores.
