Coach Talk

MFIC
You know what, MFIC, we do certainly respect the confidence. Starting not one, but TWO players with zero points (the Minnesota Vikings defense and Chris Carson), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Get Your Zeke On!
Get Your Zeke On! will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 21 times in Week 4. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group hauled in just 13 receptions.
