Coach Talk

Ottawa Rough Riders
You know Ottawa Rough Riders, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 249.53 points through Week 8, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 211 we needed for this past week's win!
New Jersey Generals
Your starting QB threw two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? We may need to have a little debate here: Was P.J. Walker actually that out-of-sync with his receivers, or was the Bengals secondary just that great against the pass? The judgment is yours to make... New Jersey Generals, as you deploy your lineup for Week 10 and beyond!
