Coach Talk

Honkey Pete Jr.
You know what, Honkey Pete Jr., we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Chase Claypool), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
PittSteel88
Posting only two targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for PittSteel88 should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
