Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Hey, we admire the confidence, Houston Texans. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (C.J. Uzomah), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Miami Dolphins
"Not getting many chances" really isn't an excuse this week for Miami Dolphins. As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR and two TE) collectively saw a healthy 36 targets in Week 2. With only 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
