Coach Talk

Green Knights
Hey, now that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 81 percent this past go round for Mr. Efficiency... Uh, sorry, I mean Aaron Rodgers. That Lions secondary didn't see it coming! We know the GM of Green Knights is thankful for that efficiency and attention to detail.
53 Cats and a Duck
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and just one touchdown? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Justin Herbert really that sloppy from the pocket, or was the Cowboys secondary just that great defending the pass? What do you think, 53 Cats and a Duck, do we continue to start him with confidence?
