Coach Talk

Keeper Reapers
Hey, it's good to be confident, Keeper Reapers. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Sammy Watkins and O.J. Howard), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Shalabajzeri
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting backfield for Shalabajzeri did not get a single target in the passing game this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to dial up some screen plays in Week 5!
