Coach Talk

Some big ass TDs
Listen, Some big ass TDs, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Devonta Freeman), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Manager-less Team and see what happens.
Willy Wonka
So, Willy Wonka, what did your receiving crew do to get written out of their teams' game plans this week? Accumulating only 10 total targets this past week, our four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
