Coach Talk

Nu' Yawk Giants
Putting together a starting crew that won by a whopping 56.55 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done. Let's keep this momentum going as we move on to a tricky challenge in Week 13.
Big Spenders
Registering two catches on only three targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Big Spenders should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
