Coach Talk

weakdude28
Hey weakdude28, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost 19 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through three weeks was 151.33. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Najee by nature
Well, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 16 times in Week 4. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group tallied just eight receptions.
