Coach Talk

Russ's Miracle Water
You know Russ's Miracle Water, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 127.23 points through Week 3, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 101.4 we needed to win this past week!
Scar's Squad
Wait, our starting QB tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Was Daniel Jones really that shaky in the pocket, or were the Redskins just that great against the pass? You'll need to decide one way or the other... Scar's Squad, as you deploy your lineup in Week 5 and beyond!
