Coach Talk

Jack & Diet
You know what, Jack & Diet, we do certainly respect the confidence. It takes guts to deploy a player with zero points (DJ Chark Jr.), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Gould Rush
With only a couple of receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Gould Rush should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
