Coach Talk

Blink
You know what, Blink, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Dalton Schultz), while still earning a 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 playoffs and we'll be toast.
RJ Machismo
Listen, RJ Machismo, we've been in this business long enough to realize that sometimes eight extra points can just randomly appear out of thin air... and then sometimes, like in your matchup this week, they don't! The coaching staff here is proud of you, the most important thing here is that you tried.
