Coach Talk

TheRapists
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Every single route, every single throw, planned meticulously and executed to perfection. The final result? A solid 26 connections on 31 attempts: good enough for an 84 percent completion percentage for Jalen Hurts this past week. That Vikings secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Yokels
Fortunately, Yokels, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with Harrison Butker in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as a learning experience and all agree that it won't happen again?
