Coach Talk

Dawgs Revenge
You know, this sport is all about spotting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by nearly quadrupling Tygame Taylor at the wide receiver position (51.5 points to 13.5).
Tygame Taylor
With only one reception on four targets this past week, the starting RBs for Tygame Taylor should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to check down more frequently.
