Coach Talk

Ptičice
Earning the win is most important, Ptičice, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team: our quarterback was utterly outclassed by the opposition. Ryan Fitzpatrick went 31-of-52 for 419 yards and four touchdowns for Alcatraz Auctioners, and all Dak Prescott could manage through the air was 265 passing yards.
Alcatraz Auctioners
Producing just three targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Alcatraz Auctioners should remind their quarterbacks to dump it off more frequently (and dial up a screen play or two).
