Coach Talk

Whole ngata love
Listen, Whole ngata love, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (DJ Chark Jr.), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. Try those shenanigans next week against Vintage and see what happens.
OJ Simpson
Unless OJ Simpson wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" doesn't fly as an excuse this week. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 22 times in Week 3. With only 13 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
