Coach Talk

Bloody Sabbath
We do respect the confidence this past week, Bloody Sabbath. Deploying a player with zero points (D'Andre Swift), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Green Giants
Registering only two catches on four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Green Giants should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
