Coach Talk

Jon Gruden
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Jon Gruden. Starting a player with zero points (Clyde Edwards-Helaire), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Anteater
There's a ton we can glean from this season and apply to next year... it's never too early to begin strategizing and thinking about how to improve! Keep your chin up, Anteater!
