Coach Talk

Smooth Criminal
Listen, Smooth Criminal, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Andy Isabella and James Conner), while still earning the win. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're done.
The Borg
Hey, The Borg, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Accumulating only nine targets combined this past week, our four wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
