Coach Talk

Boondock Saints
Putting together a lineup that won by 35.51 points this past week... we did what was needed and took care of business.
Lords of Football
Yo, Lords of Football, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing only eight targets combined this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
