Coach Talk

Oakland Panthers
Listen, Oakland Panthers, we applaud you on the confidence. Fielding a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Larry’s Old Jets
There's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around. Your next few opponents may take a peek at your record and foolishly think they have a cakewalk. Do what J.D. McKissic and Cam Akers would in this situation and continue pounding away... catch those complacent managers off-guard! Keep pushing forward, Larry’s Old Jets!
