Coach Talk

Jon Gruden
You know Jon Gruden, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 10 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 88.41. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Blade Executioner
Unless Blade Executioner wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 9. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in just nine receptions.
