Coach Talk

tardy perch
You know what, tardy perch, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes a special kind of gumption to deploy a player with zero points (Ricky Seals-Jones), while still getting the win.
RIO TOKYO
Only one field goal on three attempts? Seems like Matt Prater may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance.
