Coach Talk

Owen Heart
Props to you, Owen Heart. Assembling a lineup that won by 19.68 points this past week... let's maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 5 matchup.
Rick-ishi
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 26 times in Week 4. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 16 receptions.
