Coach Talk

Chubby Chasers
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Chubby Chasers. It takes real moxie to play a starter with negative points (the Baltimore Ravens defense) while still getting a W. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Ridley Me This
Unless Ridley Me This wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" isn't really a viable excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR, two TE) were targeted a grand total of 32 times in Week 4. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 19 balls.
