Coach Talk

Immersion
Whoa now Immersion, that's what rigorous preparation and executing the game plan will do for ya! A completion percentage of 81 percent this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Philip Rivers. That Raiders defense didn't see it coming! We know the manager of Immersion has got to be thankful for the precision and attention to detail.
