Coach Talk

Polar Bears
Listen, Polar Bears, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Evan Engram, Vita Vea, and Terrell Lewis), while still getting the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Uncrowned Champ
Wow, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Uncrowned Champ collectively registered four catches on only five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 2!
