The NFL is reviewing comments made by Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray

in which he said his players need to perform with a reckless abandon and not fret about consequences, according to a league source.

"If you are worrying about that, you are not going to go out and try and blow the guy up," Gray told The Tennessean on Thursday. "Great football players have to put that out of their mind. You have to say, 'This is my territory between the numbers, and if you throw the football you better bring the Gator truck.' And that's how you have to play. You can't play timid in the NFL."

The Gator is a vehicle teams use to take injured players off the field.
