Coach Talk

V Jacksonville Jags
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, V Jacksonville Jags. Rolling out not one, but TWO players with zero points (Bruce Irvin and Jason Croom), while still getting the W... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be toast.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Logging only three targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Pittsburgh Steelers clearly need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more often.
