Coach Talk

Hide and Zeke
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A whopping 29 connections on 30 attempts... good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. That Colts secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Bake(r) me a Cake
Listen, Bake(r) me a Cake, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of thin air. Then sometimes (like this week) they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 58 points might be a bit much.
