Coach Talk

Black N Blue
Infinite hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A spectacular 37 connections on 46 attempts... good enough for a completion percentage of 80% for Joe Burrow this past week. That Ravens secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Kash
As we say adios to 2021, our coaching staff can reflect on the fantasy season and appreciate all of the ups and the downs that came with it. Okay, well really just nine ups and seven downs, but still... Our coaching staff thanks you for spending a great year with us, and here's to 2022!
