Coach Talk

Arnie Weinmeister
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. We not only tripled Dan Marino at RB (21.5 points to 6.5), we also utterly dominated them at QB (27.52 to 4.28).
Dan Marino
Producing just one measly target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for Dan Marino should work to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
