Coach Talk

Strait Outta Bounds
You know what, Strait Outta Bounds, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a starter with zero points (Johnathan Joseph), while still earning the win! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're done.
yard crew
"Not seeing enough looks" can't be a valid excuse this week for yard crew. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 25 targets in Week 7. With only 14 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
