Coach Talk

shakia's Team
You know what, shakia's Team, we do certainly respect the confidence. Playing not one, not two, but SEVEN starters with zero points while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against FreshPrinceOfHelaire and see what happens!
Play With Fire
Yo, Play With Fire, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating only 18 targets combined this past week, our seven wide receivers clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
