Coach Talk

Miami Dolphins
Listen, Miami Dolphins, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Kenneth Walker III), while still earning a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it in the postseason and we're done.
Seattle Seahawks
With one catch on only two measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Seattle Seahawks should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
