Coach Talk

Schmo and Cows
Good work deploying a starting crew that netted nearly 121 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should tip our cap to the GM of Pickles, take this win in stride, and continue marching forward to a fantasy title.
Pickles
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Pickles collectively recorded just a couple of targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 15!
