Coach Talk

Voodoo Mama Juju
Well, we do respect the confidence this past week, Voodoo Mama Juju. It takes real gumption to play a starter with zero points (Kyle Rudolph), while still getting the W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're finished.
DeKaylin Zecharius
Unless DeKaylin Zecharius wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing many chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 25 times in Week 1. With just 13 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
