Coach Talk

Roadhouse Rebels
You know what, Roadhouse Rebels, we do certainly admire the confidence. It takes real moxie to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Jessie Bates III and Tyler Boyd), while still earning the W.
JYD
Hey now, talk about old-school ground n' pound: The starting backfield for JYD collectively registered only a pair of receptions on four targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 19!
