Coach Talk
New York Jets
Hey, it's good to be confident, New York Jets. Starting a player with zero points (Leo Chenal), while still earning a win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Miami HammerHeads
Talk about under-utilized. As a group, the starting RBs for Miami HammerHeads collectively logged only a couple of targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 2!
