Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
Listen, Gringo's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jack Doyle), while still earning a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Valley Vikings
Unless Valley Vikings wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 37 targets in Week 10. With just 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
