Coach Talk

NEZ's Neat Team
Listen NEZ's Neat Team, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 198.45 points through Week 8, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 165.82 we needed for this past week's win!
Cheese
The problem in Week 9 was pretty easy to diagnose, Cheese. Starting several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just put this behind us and move on?
