Coach Talk

Los Angeles Chargers
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Los Angeles Chargers. Playing a starter with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still getting the W... that's playing with fire. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Las Vegas Raiders
With three receptions on just four measly targets this past week, the starting running backs for Las Vegas Raiders should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
