Coach Talk

THE BIG DOGS
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, THE BIG DOGS. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Zach Pascal), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Rubber Ducky
Just one make on three field goal tries? Sounds like Matt Prater may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire after this performance.
