Coach Talk

Gritz Blitz
Listen, Gritz Blitz, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Fielding a starter with negative points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense) while still earning the win... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Philly Phresh
With only three catches this past week, the starting RBs for Philly Phresh should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
