Coach Talk

The Watcher
Listen, The Watcher, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Austin Ekeler), while still earning a tie! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
Brooklyn Bandits
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting backfield for Brooklyn Bandits collectively registered two receptions on just three measly targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 5!
