Coach Talk

DHP
Listen, DHP, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Brandin Cooks), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Thunder Bolts
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting backfield for Thunder Bolts collectively recorded one catch on only two measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up a screen play or two in Week 5!
