Coach Talk

The Belichick
You know what, The Belichick, we do respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (Eric Ebron), while still getting the win.
Tabersnack
Posting four receptions on just five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Tabersnack should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
