Coach Talk

MangoKid
Hey, we admire the confidence, MangoKid. It takes gumption to deploy a starter with zero points (Justin Simmons), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Axel
Recording four catches on just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Axel should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
