Coach Talk

I cut meat
Listen, I cut meat, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Greg Olsen), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're toast.
J-Mar Handles
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for J-Mar Handles collectively logged three catches on only four measly targets this past week.
