Coach Talk

Saultcrew
You know what, Saultcrew, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Devin White), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant.
Curtis Lowe
With only four catches this past week, the starting running backs for Curtis Lowe clearly should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
