Coach Talk

El Deguello
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly tripling Shot Gun Sally at the wide receiver position (101.8 points to 36.1).
Shot Gun Sally
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Zane Gonzalez might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this effort.
