Coach Talk

Purple Skunk
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Purple Skunk. It takes moxie to start a player with zero points (Cooper Kupp), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Tommy Sleaze
Your starting QB tossed three interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Were the Dolphins genuinely that good against the pass, or did Brian Hoyer seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think, Tommy Sleaze... do we continue starting him with confidence?
