Coach Talk

Cool Guy Zone
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Cool Guy Zone. It takes moxie to field a player with negative points (Marquez Valdes-Scantling) while still getting the win. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Off in the Woods
Wait, our quarterback threw two interceptions and not a single touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape. Were the Patriots actually that stout against the pass, or did Justin Herbert seem shaky back there in the pocket? You'll need to decide one way or the other, Off in the Woods, as you set your lineup for Week 14 and beyond!
