Coach Talk

Tygame Taylor
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance from Tom Brady, we doubled up Dawgs Revenge at the quarterback position this past week (30 points to 13). Brady went 27-for-43 for 358 yards and three TDs in a 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
Dawgs Revenge
Only two field goals on four attempts? Sounds like Harrison Butker might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool after this performance.
