Coach Talk

Nate's Nice Team
Listen, Nate's Nice Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Cameron Jordan), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Latarrance's Team and we'll be toast!
2 Legit Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 9. With only 15 total receptions, this group may have some chemistry issues.
