Coach Talk

Blount Force Trauma
Listen, Blount Force Trauma, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Chester Rogers), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Third and Shlong and see what happens!
TechN9ne
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 26 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 11 receptions.
