Coach Talk

WilburForce
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 63 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should keep this momentum rolling as we head into our next matchup in Week 6.
LaphroaigBenchWarmer
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for LaphroaigBenchWarmer should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it off more frequently.
