Coach Talk

Dynamo Express
Infinite hours in the film room and in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The final result? A whopping 29 completions on 30 attempts: good enough for a 97% completion percentage for Drew Brees this past week. That Colts secondary didn't stand a chance!.
eXacerBators
Look, eXacerBators, we've been in this industry long enough to know that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of thin air. Then in some cases (like this week) they don't! You know, now that I think about it... maybe asking for an extra 30 points is a little excessive.
