Coach Talk

Prashant's Ingeneous Team
Listen, Prashant's Ingeneous Team, we do respect the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Calvin Ridley), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
JimiJive
"Not getting enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for JimiJive. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 30 targets in Week 5. Chemistry and timing seem to be issues as that group reeled in only 17 balls.
