Coach Talk

CROWN ME #1
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, CROWN ME #1. Playing a starter with zero points (Corey Davis), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Saul Elizarraras
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's somewhat excusable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Robbie Gould might be kicking himself to the waiver wire following that sort of performance.
