Coach Talk

Denver Broncos
Hey, we admire the confidence, Denver Broncos. Starting a player with zero points (Albert Okwuegbunam), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be finished.
Tennessee Titans
Well, Tennessee Titans, this week's problem isn't exactly a brain teaser. Choosing to start Kyle Philips, Geoff Swaim, and Zach Cunningham in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
