Coach Talk

Riverboat Redskins
Good job deploying a starting crew that earned over 418 points this past week. We did what we had to do and took care of business. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Bad Mother Tucker, and continue marching forward to a fantasy championship.
Bad Mother Tucker
The problem in Week 1 was pretty easy to diagnose, Bad Mother Tucker. Going with Blake Martinez in a tough fantasy matchup... let's deem this to be a learning experience and agree that it's not going to happen again.
