Coach Talk

Diggin Heat
Hey, it's good to be confident, Diggin Heat. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Kerryon Johnson and Evan Engram), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire.
absolutereckless
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for absolutereckless collectively recorded three receptions on just four targets this past week.
