Coach Talk

Cam Newton Show
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 33 connections on 41 attempts... good enough for an 80% completion percentage for Deshaun Watson this past week. That Colts secondary didn't see it coming!.
Collin's Team
The problem in Week 15 was pretty easy to diagnose, Collin's Team. Choosing to start Maxx Crosby and DeVante Parker in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's use this as a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again?
