Coach Talk

Fear&Loathing in AZ
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Fear&Loathing in AZ! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve. Our starting quarterback was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Justin Herbert went 33-of-48 for 334 yards and three touchdowns for Nuckin Futz, and all Russell Wilson could manage through the air was 219 yards and one passing TD. We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
Nuckin Futz
Trust me (since I'm a coach who's lived life on the hot seat)... If this "fantasy GM" thing doesn't work out, you can always fall back on that gritty Graduate Assistant job available at the community college down the street!
