Coach Talk

PATRIOTS RULE
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, PATRIOTS RULE. Starting a starter with negative points (the Tennessee Titans defense) while still earning a win... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
The Rubensteins
Unless The Rubensteins wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough looks" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our seven pass-catchers (six WR, one TE) combined to get a whopping 30 targets in Week 2. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 17 balls.
