Coach Talk

Jags Den
Listen Jags Den, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 264.71 points through Week 7, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 197 we needed to win this past week!
Play With Fire
So, Play With Fire, what did your receiving crew do to tick off their quarterbacks this week? Seeing only 16 total targets this past week, our 10 starting pass-catchers (seven WR, three TE) clearly need to get on their QBs' good sides this week in practice.
