Coach Talk

Hakuna Matata
Hey, now that's what we're talkin' about! A completion percentage of 84% this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Josh Allen. The Rams defense didn't know what hit 'em! We know the manager of Hakuna Matata is grateful for that precision and attention to detail.
Philly Phresh
Take my word for it (since I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that scrappy Assistant Coaching job available at the local high school down the road!
