Coach Talk

New York Giants
A lot of cake, no icing: The five starting offensive position players (three WRs, one RB, one TE) on New York Giants combined to register a whopping 381 yards from scrimmage. None of those starters found his way to the end zone in Week 3.
Phi Eagles (TS)
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 23 times in Week 3. With only 13 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
