Coach Talk

EAGLES
Hey, we admire the confidence, EAGLES. Deploying a player with zero points (Corey Davis), while still getting a W... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're finished.
Getcha Popcorn Ready
Recording only five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Getcha Popcorn Ready should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
