Coach Talk

Cooking with Defense
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Cooking with Defense. It takes moxie to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Brandon Marshall and Calais Campbell), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against TeamBrickLesnar and we'll be toast.
A Team Has No Name
So, A Team Has No Name, did your receiving crew drop too many balls in practice or something? Seeing only 11 total targets this past week, our four wide receivers clearly need to get the attention of their respective QBs this week in practice.
