Coach Talk

Heartbreak Kid
Good job assembling a starting crew that won by more than 48 points this past week. We consider that to be a job well done.
Rip
Registering four catches on only five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Rip should investigate why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
