Coach Talk

Obi-Wan Jakobi
Hey, we admire the confidence, Obi-Wan Jakobi. Deploying a player with zero points (Cam Akers), while still earning a W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
BRAVE HEART
"Not seeing enough looks" isn't an excuse this week for BRAVE HEART. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 28 times in Week 1. With just 15 total receptions, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
