Coach Talk

HurrayTitans!
Hey, we admire the confidence, HurrayTitans!. Starting a player with zero points (Le'Veon Bell) while still getting the win... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week and see what happens!
Garrett's Team
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a respectable 26 times in Week 3. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they pulled down just 15 balls.
