Coach Talk

Gringo's Team
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Gringo's Team. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Zeke Turner), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're done.
Cowboys
With only three catches on five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Cowboys should remind their quarterbacks to check down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
