Coach Talk

Gotham Giants
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Gotham Giants. It takes moxie to deploy a starter with negative points (Chris Herndon) while still earning a win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Deshaun of the Dead
Producing three catches on just four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Deshaun of the Dead should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
