Coach Talk

Rocky III
Listen, Rocky III, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a player with zero points (Emmanuel Sanders), while still earning a W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against brazY quinn and see what happens.
brazY quinn
Your quarterback threw one interception and literally zero touchdowns? We may need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Did Derek Carr seem shaky back there in the pocket, or was the Falcons secondary just that great against the pass? What do you think, brazY quinn, do we continue to start him with confidence?
