Coach Talk

Arrogant Americans
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Arrogant Americans. Deploying a starter with zero points (Chris Carson), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be finished.
Whackers
With only five receptions this past week, the starting RBs for Whackers should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
