Coach Talk

Dirty 54
Listen, Dirty 54, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Denver Broncos defense), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Doc's Devils
We were just taking it easy so our players could dominate in next week, right? The nine starting offensive position players (four WRs, three RBs, two TEs) on Doc's Devils combined to register 468 yards and just one touchdown in Week 5. The skill players on Dirty 54 made it tough on us by logging 761 yards and four scores.
