Coach Talk

Gang Green
You know what, Gang Green, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Rob Gronkowski), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you 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?
Mn Swamp Dragons
With three receptions on only four measly targets this past week, the starting RBs for Mn Swamp Dragons should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
