Coach Talk

Green and White
You know what, Green and White, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes a special kind of guts to deploy a starter with zero points (Logan Thomas), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
Tha Dogg Pound
Well, we can't really whine about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 41 times in Week 4. With only 21 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
