Coach Talk

Josh's Team
Only one make on three field goal attempts? Sounds like Zane Gonzalez might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
Mr. Randy Watson
Registering three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Mr. Randy Watson should investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the cold shoulder.
