Coach Talk

MeanTeacher
Hey, we admire the confidence, MeanTeacher. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Damien Wilson and Austin Bryant), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
Springfield Buffalos
Registering only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Springfield Buffalos should remind their QBs to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
