Coach Talk

Tommy P
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Tommy P. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (James Conner), while still getting a win! 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?
GrundlePimp
Talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for GrundlePimp collectively registered one catch on only two measly targets this past week.
