Coach Talk

Hancocks Beast
We do admire the confidence this past week, Hancocks Beast. Rolling out not one, not two, but EIGHT players with zero points while still earning a W... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Patrick's Team
Recording only one measly target this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Patrick's Team clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
