Coach Talk

andre's Team
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A whopping 25 connections on 29 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 86% for Ben Roethlisberger this past week. That Raiders secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Bill Braski
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting backfield for Bill Braski collectively registered only a couple of targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 15!
