Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Listen, Negligent Discharges, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes real gumption to start a player with zero points (Marquise Brown), while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Hooligans and see what happens.
Warm Bodies
The problem in Week 6 is pretty easy to diagnose, Warm Bodies. Choosing to start Paul Richardson Jr. and Ameer Abdullah in a tough fantasy matchup... let's just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
