Coach Talk

Rissell's Team
Listen, Rissell's Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Michael Thomas), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire.
Aish's Team
Hey, Aish's Team, what did your receivers do to irk their quarterbacks this week? With only six targets combined this past week, our two wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
