Coach Talk

Can I Haz Touchdown?
Listen, Can I Haz Touchdown?, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Grady Jarrett), while still getting the W... that's borderline cocky. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Well Oiled Machine and we're sure to be toast.
Drones
You can feel good knowing that your generosity didn't go unnoticed. It takes a true winner to help someone like Can I Haz Touchdown? succeed this week... and perhaps one day, they'll return the favor by choosing a couple of kickers early in next year's draft (something like that). Keep pushing forward, Drones!
