Coach Talk

Warriors
You know what, Warriors, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a player with zero points (Yannick Ngakoue), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Well Oiled Machine
Well Oiled Machine will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) collectively received a grand total of 22 targets in Week 4. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group reeled in just 13 catches.
