Coach Talk

Zeke Squad
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Zeke Squad. Deploying a player with zero points (Taylor Gabriel), while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Unladen Swallows
Your quarterback tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may need to have a little debate here: Was Andy Dalton actually that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or were the Saints just that good against the pass? This judgment is yours to make... Unladen Swallows, as you manage your lineup in Week 11 and beyond!
