Coach Talk

MangoKid
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, MangoKid. Starting a player with zero points (Trey Hendrickson), while still earning the W... talk about arrogant. 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 done.
Tucas
"Not seeing enough opportunities" really isn't an excuse this week for Tucas. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 49 times in Week 4. With only 26 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
