Coach Talk

RIO TOKYO
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, RIO TOKYO. It takes moxie to deploy not one, not two, but SIX starters with zero points while still earning the W. Try those shenanigans next week against Belly Jump Passers and we'll be toast!
Obi Will Kenobi
With only one catch this past week, the starting RBs for Obi Will Kenobi should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
