Coach Talk

Dashaun's Team
You know what, Dashaun's Team, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real gumption to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Josh Gordon, Odell Beckham Jr., and Drew Brees), while still getting a W. We just ask you to please limit 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?
vs's Rad Team
So, vs's Rad Team, what did your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? With just 40 total targets this past week, our 10 starting pass-catchers (10 WR, zero TE) obviously need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
