Coach Talk

Спартанци
Listen, Спартанци, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Dalvin Cook and DeAndre Hopkins), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Bonecrushers
Producing only one single target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Bonecrushers obviously should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
