Coach Talk

Warm Bodies
You know what, Warm Bodies, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to play a starter with zero points (Michael Thomas), while still earning the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be toast.
WarEagle
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 27 targets in Week 4. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 13 receptions.
