Coach Talk

MOBSQUAD
Listen, MOBSQUAD, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Clayton Fejedelem), while still earning the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
PJ
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (five WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 42 times in Week 1. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they pulled down only 23 catches.
