Coach Talk

ItsACatch
Kudos to you, ItsACatch. Nice work assembling a lineup that registered 122.56 points this past matchup. We should maintain this momentum as we head into what will surely be a difficult matchup in Week 5.
Pebbleboys
Welp, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 19 times in Week 4. With just 10 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
