Coach Talk

Hendrix Purple Haze
Props to you, Hendrix Purple Haze. Nice job deploying a lineup that tallied 129 points in Week 1. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
slim pikn'z
Your starting QB tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Saints really that strong against the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that inaccurate from the pocket? What do you think, slim pikn'z, do we continue to start him with confidence?
