Coach Talk

Mariota gang
Hey, it's good to be confident, Mariota gang. Deploying a starter with zero points (Tajae Sharpe), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Slink's Mayhem
Registering only three receptions on five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Slink's Mayhem should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
