Coach Talk

Manager-less Team
Listen, Manager-less Team, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes a special kind of moxie to start a player with zero points (Dallas Goedert), while still getting a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Tyler's Tip-Top Team and we're sure to be toast.
WebbahsAreWinnahs
With three receptions on just four targets this past week, the starting RBs for WebbahsAreWinnahs should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
