Coach Talk

Yoga Pants
Wow, that Buccaneers secondary didn't see it coming! 26 connections on 32 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Drew Brees. We know the GM of Yoga Pants is grateful for that attention to detail.
Answer is FUTTURMAN
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting running backs for Answer is FUTTURMAN should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
