Coach Talk

Daniel's Team
Listen, Daniel's Team, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (DeAndre Hopkins and David Johnson), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Rougarou’s
There's still a boatload of time left to turn this season around. These upcoming opponents might glance at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what Todd Gurley II and D'Andre Swift would in this situation and continue pounding away... catch those complacent managers off-guard! Keep your head up, Rougarou’s!
