Coach Talk

Uncrustables
Hey, we admire the confidence, Uncrustables. Deploying a starter with zero points (Amari Cooper), while still earning the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're finished.
Carl's Team
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 23 times in Week 4. With only 11 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
