Coach Talk

Stingrays
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Stingrays. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Chris Godwin and Terrell Suggs), while still earning the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and we'll be toast!
One--Eyed--Willie
With one catch on only two targets this past week, the starting RBs for One--Eyed--Willie should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
