Coach Talk

StairwayToSeven
Listen, StairwayToSeven, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Siran Neal), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
KC Warpaint
Wow, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for KC Warpaint collectively recorded just a pair of catches on six targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up a couple of screen plays in Week 5!
