Coach Talk

Fail of the Draft
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Fail of the Draft. It takes real gumption to field a player with negative points (the New England Patriots defense) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Sada's Gardeners
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Sada's Gardeners collectively logged three receptions on just four measly targets this past week.
