Coach Talk

Sissysbitch
Getting the win is most important, Sissysbitch, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team. Our QB was significantly outclassed this past week. Russell Wilson went 17-of-23 for 268 yards and four touchdowns for Virgin squad, and all Jameis Winston could manage through the air was 204 yards and two passing TDs. Let's put some more effort into scouting those upcoming defenses!
Virgin squad
Producing only a couple of targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Virgin squad should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
