Coach Talk

PIERMONSTERS
Yo, PIERMONSTERS, you put the rest of the league on notice with this explosive showing. Not only did you win by 144+ points, you also jumped up two places in the league standings!
Dirty 54
Wow, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Dirty 54 failed to receive a single target via the passing game this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 9!
