Coach Talk

Kevins Micro Dongs
Hey, we admire the confidence, Kevins Micro Dongs. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Sammy Watkins), while still getting the W. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Password Is Taco
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 16 times in Week 4. With just 10 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
