Coach Talk

Bills22
Listen, Bills22, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Dalton Schultz), while still earning the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against BOYZ R BACK and see what happens.
The Bulldogs
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) combined to see a grand total of 23 targets in Week 3. With only 13 total catches, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
