Coach Talk

Truth isnt the Truth
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, Truth isnt the Truth. Deploying a player with zero points (Dante Pettis) while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens.
East Rutherford Zoo
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for East Rutherford Zoo collectively recorded a couple of catches on only three targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 4!
