Coach Talk

Joel's Father
You know what, Joel's Father, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Ke'Shawn Vaughn), while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. We just ask you to please limit 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?
_______
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for _______ collectively registered two catches on just three measly targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 9!
