Coach Talk

Deez
Solid work this past week, Deez! We'll give thanks for this bountiful victory, and now redirect our attention towards a tough challenge in Mr& Mrs.Moore.
Kush Gordon
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting RBs for Kush Gordon collectively received zero targets via the passing game this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 13!
