Coach Talk

Anthony Scudder
Kudos to you, Anthony Scudder. Nice job fielding a team that won by more than 24 points this past matchup.
Dogs
Our quarterback tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Did Ian Book appear flustered back there in the pocket, or were the Dolphins just that strong against the pass?
