Coach Talk

I’m Pickle Rick!
You know what, I’m Pickle Rick!, we do admire the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (John Brown), while still earning the win. Try those shenanigans next week against _______ and we're sure to be toast.
Hi_Hater
"Not getting enough looks" isn't an excuse this week for Hi_Hater. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 17 times in Week 3. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group notched just 10 receptions.
