Coach Talk

Jack & Diet
Listen, Jack & Diet, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Marvin Jones Jr.), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Breeceâs Pieces
There's still a lot of football left to be played, Breeceâs Pieces! These upcoming opponents may look at the win-loss record and foolishly think they have an easy matchup. Lull them into a sense of complacency and hit 'em with the strongest possible lineups... they won't see it coming!
