Coach Talk

Bitterness
Listen, Bitterness, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Harrison Butker), while still earning a win... that's borderline arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Dirty 54 and see what happens!
Night Hawk
Logging four catches on just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Night Hawk obviously should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
