Coach Talk

SuperBowlboy
Assembling a starting crew that recorded more than 92 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should tip our cap to the GM of milanese, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards a fantasy title.
milanese
Posting just three targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for milanese should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
