Coach Talk

LightsKamaraAction
Listen, LightsKamaraAction, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real gumption to deploy a player with zero points (David Njoku), 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 when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
Stone Cold Kittle
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a healthy 32 times in Week 2. With just 19 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
