Coach Talk

BODY SNATCHERS
Hey, it's good to be confident, BODY SNATCHERS. It takes a certain kind of moxie to play a starter with zero points (Jerry Jeudy), while still earning the win.
Wardawgs
With just three catches this past week, the starting running backs for Wardawgs should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
