Coach Talk

Mario's Team
You know what, Mario's Team, we do respect the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out, not one, but TWO players with zero points (Julio Jones and Cameron Wake), while still getting the W! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
chad's Swell Team
Your quarterback tossed two interceptions and just a single touchdown? Maybe we need to go back and review the game tape. Was Jacoby Brissett really that off-rhythm with his receivers, or were the Titans just that strong defending the pass? The judgment is yours to make... chad's Swell Team, as you set your lineup for Week 14 and beyond!
