Coach Talk

The Outlaws
Hey, it's good to be confident, The Outlaws. Starting a player with zero points (Gerald Everett), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
ATLiens
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to get a healthy 23 targets in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only nine catches.
