Coach Talk

They Might Be Giants
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, They Might Be Giants. Deploying a starter with zero points (Jabrill Peppers), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're toast.
C'mon Man
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 2, right? The 13 starting offensive position players on C'mon Man (six WRs, six RBs, one TE) combined to register 502 yards and just one touchdown in Week 1. The skill players on They Might Be Giants made it tough on us by logging 778 yards and five scores.
