Coach Talk

Lil D
Putting together a lineup that earned 124.5 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
X-Factor
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for X-Factor collectively logged only two catches on four targets this past week.
