Coach Talk

The Mush Room
We do admire the confidence this past week, The Mush Room. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Younghoe Koo), while still getting a W. 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?
Dumpster Fire🔥
Registering zero receptions on just one target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Dumpster Fire🔥 should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
