Coach Talk

Mello Yellow
Hey, we admire the confidence, Mello Yellow. Deploying a starter with zero points (Darius Leonard), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant.
Larry’s Old Jets
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Larry’s Old Jets collectively recorded just four targets this past week.
