Coach Talk

Houston Texans
Hey, we admire the confidence, Houston Texans. Deploying a starter with zero points (Darrell Taylor), while still getting the win... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
