Coach Talk

Golladay Inn
Whoa, Golladay Inn, you really made a statement to the rest of the league with this victory. In addition to a nearly 32-point victory, you also jumped up a couple of places in the league standings. Nice work!
Matthew's Team
Your quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Was Gardner Minshew II actually that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Dolphins secondary just that stout against the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Matthew's Team?
