Coach Talk

REPLACEMENT
Listen, REPLACEMENT, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of gumption to roll out a player with zero points (Chris Jones), while still earning a W.
NFL's Orphans
Yo, NFL's Orphans, did your pass-catchers talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Seeing only 20 targets combined this past week, our starting receiver crew (four WR, one TE) clearly need to get in their respective QBs' ears this week in practice.
