Coach Talk

Dirty Hippies
Putting together a lineup that won by almost 80 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
The Dogs of War
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The eight starting offensive position players (four WRs, three RBs, one TE) on The Dogs of War combined to register a healthy 500 yards from scrimmage. Unfortunately, none of those starters could find his way to the end zone in Week 14.
