Coach Talk

GloriouslyVictorious
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, GloriouslyVictorious. Rolling out a player with negative points (the Minnesota Vikings defense) while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Zhuānyuán 專員
Hey now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for Zhuānyuán 專員 collectively recorded just three receptions on five targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 2!
