Coach Talk

The Prodders
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 25 connections on 29 attempts... good enough for a 86% completion percentage for Ben Roethlisberger this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't see it coming!.
JJ's Palooka's 2
Producing only a pair of catches on four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for JJ's Palooka's 2 clearly should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
