Coach Talk

Nuckin Futz
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Nuckin Futz. Playing a starter with zero points (Carson Wentz), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
El Molidor
With just three receptions on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for El Molidor clearly should look into why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
