Coaching From The Couch®

I instantly thought, wh

I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'm nervous about the Redskins vs Rams game today. I am unashamed and unapologetic about my nerves. Here's the thing, during preseason, I would continuously hear "It's just preseason." After Week 1, I'm hearing "It's just Week 1." While all of this is true, one obvious problem for me is that the same challenges in preseason, were the same challenges in Week 1. I can't help but to think the same challenges from Week 1, just might be the same
