Coach Talk

Omelette du Fromage
I cannot overstate just how important close victories like this are for locker room chemistry. Persevering through obstacles and succeeding in the face of adversity... expect Omelette du Fromage to carry some positive momentum into Week 7.
Murray Christmas
Our quarterback threw two interceptions and not a single touchdown? We may should have a little debate here: Were the actually that strong defending the pass, or was Cam Newton just that out-of-sync with his receivers? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Murray Christmas?
