Coach Talk

Groin Strain
Nice work assembling a lineup that won by 452.5 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
animal's Team
Recording just a couple of targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for animal's Team should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more often.
