Coach Talk

Cookin Some Crowder
Listen, Cookin Some Crowder, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to deploy a starter with negative points (the Cleveland Browns defense) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Cassidy Curtis
With literally zero passes thrown their direction this past week the starting running backs for Cassidy Curtis should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it off more often.
