Coach Talk

Jumpin' Bones
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a stellar display by Matt Ryan, we quadrupled Jules Winnfield at the quarterback position this past week (39.55 points to 9.47). Ryan went 32-for-46 for 330 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 53-32 loss to the Texans.
Jules Winnfield
Just one make on three field goal tries? Seems like Brett Maher may have just toe-bashed himself to the waiver wire following this performance.
