Coach Talk

Dule's Dazzling Team
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Dule's Dazzling Team. It takes real guts to start a player with zero points (Gus Edwards), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
SMH Unbelievable
Our quarterback tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a fork in the road here: Were the Saints actually that strong against the pass, or did Aaron Rodgers appear shaky back there in the pocket? You'll need to decide one way or the other... SMH Unbelievable, as you set your lineup in Week 2 and beyond!
