Coach Talk

Rando Rick
Nice job, Rando Rick. Bravo on deploying a starting crew that nearly earned 94 points this past matchup. Let's keep this momentum going as we head into our next matchup in Week 4.
No More Diamonds
Yo, No More Diamonds, did your wideouts talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? Accumulating only 12 targets combined this past week, our three wide receivers clearly got on the bad side of their respective QBs.
