Coach Talk

Saquontum Leap
Good job assembling a starting crew that recorded more than 145 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
Buzzards
Keep your head up, Buzzards! You can take solace in the fact that your generosity this week didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Saquontum Leap succeed... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by taking a couple of defenses early in the 2020 draft, something along those lines.
