Coach Talk

Megatron's Mentality
You know what, Megatron's Mentality, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special sort of guts to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Kenny Stills and Laquon Treadwell), while still earning a win! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
I AM BRAINWASHED
With just three catches this past week, the starting running backs for I AM BRAINWASHED should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
