Coach Talk

Trey&Clay's Empire
Countless hours in the film room. Innovative play design from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, planned meticulously and executed deliberately. And the final result? A superb 27 completions on 33 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 82% for Aaron Rodgers this past week. That Falcons secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Garoppolypse Now
Take my word for it (since I'm a coach who's constantly been on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching gig available at the local Pop Warner team down the street!
