Coach Talk

Anthropomorphic Milk
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single throw, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. The outcome? A solid 22 connections on 27 attempts... good enough for a 81% completion percentage for Philip Rivers this past week. The Raiders secondary didn't see it coming!.
The Phantom Limbs
Keep your head up, The Phantom Limbs! Trust me on this one (coming from a coach who's experienced life on the hot seat)... You can take comfort in the fact that there's always that volunteer Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the road!
