Coach Talk

Owen Sixteen
Hey, we admire the confidence, Owen Sixteen. Deploying a starter with zero points (Tevin Coleman), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Earth-99 StL Rams
With just five catches this past week, the starting running backs for Earth-99 StL Rams should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
