Coach Talk

Tripping Billies
Deploying a starting crew that won by nearly 90 points this past week... we deem that to be a job well done.
Flying Flounders
Yo, Flying Flounders, did your pass-catchers drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing just 11 targets as a group this past week, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
