Coach Talk

Rising Surf
Hey, we admire the confidence, Rising Surf. Deploying a player with zero points (David Onyemata), while still earning the W... that's borderline arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
0-2
Talk about under-utilized: The starting RBs for 0-2 collectively logged three receptions on only four measly targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 15!
