Coach Talk

Tucas
Listen, Tucas, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to play a starter with zero points (Carlos Dunlap), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Axel
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 5, right? The seven offensive skill starters (three WRs, two RBs, two TEs) on Axel combined to record 410 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 4. Our opposition's skill players showed off how it's supposed to be done by logging 691 yards and four scores.
