Coach Talk

Slapnuts
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Slapnuts. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Darius Leonard), while still earning a win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
With Myself
Only three makes on five field goal attempts? Seems like Dan Bailey should reevaluate his pre-kick process after this performance.
