Coach Talk

Dope Relax
You know what, Dope Relax, we do respect the confidence. It takes real moxie to play a player with zero points (Melvin Gordon III), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
JAY's Team
JAY's Team may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively received a hearty 27 targets in Week 1. With just 16 total catches, this group may have some chemistry issues.
