Coach Talk

slim pikn'z
Getting the win is most important, slim pikn'z, but we've also identified one spot where we should improve as a team. Our running backs were significantly outplayed this past week. Alvin Kamara (30 total yards, no TDs) and Melvin Gordon III (69 yards, no TDs) combined for just 14 points in Week 2, and the starting backfield for slackers showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 37. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
slackers
You can take comfort in the fact that your generosity didn't go unnoticed, slackers. It takes a real kindred spirit to help someone like slim pikn'z succeed this week. Who knows, maybe they'll return the favor by taking a couple of kickers early in next year's draft... something like that!
