Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Listen The Dogs of War, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 158.03 points through Week 8, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 107.1 we needed for this past week's win!
Dead Again
Your quarterback threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape: Was Derek Carr actually that out-of-tune with the receiving crew, or was the Giants secondary just that good against the pass? What do you think, Dead Again, do we continue to start him with confidence?
