Coach Talk

the end
You know what, the end, we do certainly respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Calvin Ridley), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Le Champion
Logging four catches on only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Le Champion should remind their QBs to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
