Coach Talk

LongShotzz
Listen, LongShotzz, we do respect the confidence. It takes a certain sort of guts to deploy a starter with zero points (Fletcher Cox), while still earning the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against 'T-N-T' Treat'§ and we'll be toast.
CROWN ME #1
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively received a healthy 34 targets in Week 3. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in only 20 catches.
