Coach Talk

A Taste of the Herb
Whoa, A Taste of the Herb, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by nearly 75 points, you also jumped up two spots in the league standings!
Philly Special
With only one reception this past week, the starting RBs for Philly Special should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
