Coach Talk

Doobrees
Hey, we admire the confidence, Doobrees. Playing a starter with zero points (Jordan Reed), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens!
JJ What
Only two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
