Coach Talk

Nasty biters
Hey, we admire the confidence, Nasty biters. It's a bold move to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Zach Ertz and Marquise Brown), while still earning a W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
Team Nasty
Registering just three receptions on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Team Nasty should remind their quarterbacks to start checking down more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
