Coach Talk

The Mad Scientist
You know what, The Mad Scientist, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Keenan Allen), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens.
The Cutlass Cieras
With literally no passes thrown their direction this past week the starting running backs for The Cutlass Cieras should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
