Coach Talk

Sharks
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Sharks. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jordan Poyer), while still earning a win... that's borderline arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against tardy perch and we'll be toast!
Soupsie Iannuzzi
Well, Soupsie Iannuzzi, Week 3's problem was fairly easy to spot. Choosing to start Desmond Ridder in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied 504.69 points... let's all just put this behind us and move on.
