Coach Talk

Red Storm
You know what, Red Storm, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Rob Gronkowski), while still getting the W! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Brian McDougall
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Brian McDougall collectively registered four receptions on just five targets this past week. Tell those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 3!
