Coach Talk

Habs
Listen, Habs, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes a certain kind of gumption to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Trent Sherfield, James Robinson, and Sammy Watkins), while still earning the W. Try those shenanigans next week against Arkansas Iron Horses and we'll be toast.
steelers nation
With just a couple of receptions this past week, the starting RBs for steelers nation should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
