Coach Talk

Mack North
Who really cares if you ended up sliding from first place to second this past week... the important thing here is that your squad won the matchup. Remain laser-focused week-to-week and the results are sure to follow.
Tucas
Wait, our starting QB tossed an interception and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Rams actually that strong defending the pass, or did Drew Brees seem rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think, Tucas, do we continue to start him with confidence?
