Coach Talk

RIO TOKYO
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, RIO TOKYO. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
RIP Madden
So, RIP Madden, did your receivers talk bad about their offensive coordinators or something? Accumulating just 20 total targets this past week, our seven wide receivers clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
