Coach Talk

Give Me The Loot 💰
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Give Me The Loot 💰. It takes a special kind of moxie to deploy a starter with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Dem Ninja’s Out Here
With only two receptions on six targets this past week, the starting RBs for Dem Ninja’s Out Here should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
