Coach Talk

GX s99 NE Pats 20 25
Hey, we do admire the confidence this past week, GX s99 NE Pats 20 25. Deploying a player with zero points (Kyle Rudolph), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Denver Broncos and see what happens!
Houston Texans
Houston Texans may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) collectively received a hearty 21 targets in Week 3. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 12 receptions.
