Coach Talk

Soupsie Iannuzzi
Listen, Soupsie Iannuzzi, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Denver Broncos defense) while still getting a W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
RT17
Your quarterback tossed one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape. Did Deshaun Watson seem flustered back there in the pocket, or was the Saints secondary just that great defending the pass?
