Coach Talk

G.O.A.T Status
Listen, G.O.A.T Status, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Darren Waller), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Flushers
Talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Flushers collectively registered just four targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to draw up a couple of screen plays in Week 6!
