Coach Talk

Generic Team Eric
These types of narrow wins can be incredibly important for locker room chemistry. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect Generic Team Eric to carry some positive vibes into Week 4.
Money Bagz Caslin
"Not getting enough opportunities" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Money Bagz Caslin. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 34 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied just 18 catches.
