Coach Talk

jbml
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, jbml. It's a bold move to deploy not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Julio Jones, Damarious Randall, and Cole Holcomb), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Apollo and see what happens!
MangoKid
There's still a boatload of football left to be played, MangoKid! The next few opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they've got a cakewalk. You've got them exactly where you want 'em... deploy your best possible starting lineup and they won't see it coming!
