Coach Talk

Wallys Warriors
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Wallys Warriors. Starting a starter with negative points (the New England Patriots defense) while still earning a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Dubs for Myles
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Dubs for Myles collectively recorded only a couple of receptions on four measly targets this past week.
