Coach Talk

Thomas and the Tank
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Thomas and the Tank. Playing a starter with zero points (Jimmy Graham), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
los Diablos
Producing only one catch on three measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for los Diablos should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
