Coach Talk

VikingDog!!!
Listen, VikingDog!!!, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (Ka'imi Fairbairn) while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Erskine's Dawgs
Erskine's Dawgs will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) combined to receive a grand total of 26 targets in Week 10. With just 16 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
