Coach Talk

Norman Nobodies
Here's a list of scenarios where it's borderline acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of DeAndre Jordan free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
Dirty Hippies
With two receptions on just three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Dirty Hippies should remind their QBs to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
