Coach Talk

New York Giants
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, New York Giants. It's a bold move to roll out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Jacksonville JAGUARS
So, Jacksonville JAGUARS, what did your receiving crew do to irk their quarterbacks this week? With just 24 targets combined in Week 4, our eight starting pass-catchers (six WR, two TE) clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
