Coach Talk

Jerkson
Kudos to you, Jerkson. Putting together a team that won by almost 16 points this past matchup. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of John's Wide Receiver, and continue the march towards the Game of Inches league title.
John's Wide Receiver
Ugh, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for John's Wide Receiver collectively recorded only a pair of targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 2!
