Coach Talk

The Cardiac Comeback
Listen, The Cardiac Comeback, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (the Philadelphia Eagles defense), while still getting the win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Throw up the X
With only one reception on three measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Throw up the X should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
