Coach Talk

High Desert Coyotes
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Fueled by a stellar display by Dak Prescott, we almost quadrupled Dawg Pound at the quarterback position this past week (38.4 points to 9.73). Prescott went 42-for-54 for 455 yards, three TDs, and two INTs in a six-point triumph over the Eagles.
Dawg Pound
Our quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? I guess we're presented with a couple of options here. Was Russell Wilson actually that shaky in the pocket, or were the Vikings just that strong against the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Dawg Pound?
