Coach Talk

Da Waterboyz!
Only three field goals on five attempts? Seems like Ka'imi Fairbairn might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
Dudley
With only two receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Dudley should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
