Coach Talk

The Dominators
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 31 completions on 35 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 89 percent for Russell Wilson this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
don't @ me brah
Take my word for it (since I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can take comfort in the fact that there's always that gritty Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
