Coach Talk

The Dung Trumpets
You know what, The Dung Trumpets, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Los Angeles Rams defense), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Alvin &The Chipmunks
Alvin &The Chipmunks may find it tough to complain about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 31 times in Week 5. With only 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
