Coach Talk

WilburForce
Listen, WilburForce, we do admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Robert Tonyan), while still getting the W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Figg NEWTRONS
Unless Figg NEWTRONS wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing many chances" isn't really an excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively got a respectable 27 targets in Week 1. With only 16 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
