Coach Talk

Big Ballers
Props to you, Big Ballers. Good job assembling a starting crew that blew the opposition out by almost 23 points in Week 8. We should keep this momentum going as we roll into our Week 9 matchup.
GrundlePimp
Wait, our starting QB tossed one interception and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Was Derek Carr actually that out-of-sync with his receiving crew, or was the Saints secondary just that stout against the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of GrundlePimp?
