Coach Talk

Tommysterrors
Hey, it's good to be confident, Tommysterrors. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (A.J. Brown), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Steidle’s playas
Posting three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Steidle’s playas should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
