Coach Talk

DOOMSDAY D
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, DOOMSDAY D. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Chandler Jones and Randy Gregory), while still earning a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
