Coach Talk

Eli-NT
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Eli-NT. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (Bo Scarbrough and Alshon Jeffery), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky.
Blitzed!
Producing three receptions on only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Blitzed! should remind their QBs to start checking down more often (and dial up a screen play or two).
