Coach Talk

Arin Johnson's Team
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Arin Johnson's Team. Starting a starter with negative points (Dyami Brown) while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Turkey Jones
Look, we've been in this business long enough to know that sometimes four extra points will just miraculously come out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they won't! In the grand scheme of things, the most important thing is that you tried. Keep your head up, Turkey Jones!
