Coach Talk

Memphis Showboats
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, Memphis Showboats. Deploying a starter with zero points (Alvin Kamara), while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be finished.
Utah Surfer Dudes
"Not getting enough looks" shouldn't really be an excuse this week for Utah Surfer Dudes. Our pass-catching corps (two WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 14 times in Week 4. With only six total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
