Coach Talk

Destiny
Listen, Destiny, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Nick Folk), while still earning a W... that's borderline cocky.
Willex Eagles
So, Willex Eagles, what did your pass-catchers do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Accumulating just 11 targets as a group this past week, our starting receiver crew (two WR, one TE) clearly need to get the attention of their respective offensive coordinators this week in practice.
