Coach Talk

Suicide Squad
Deploying a starting crew that recorded 193 points this past week... we consider that to be a job well done.
Go Black
Registering just three targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Go Black should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
