Coach Talk

MGKvsBRD
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid showing from Dak Prescott, we doubled up Red White & Blaine at the quarterback position this past week (23.54 points to 11.38). Prescott went 19-for-32 for 246 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 31-6 win over the Dolphins.
Red White & Blaine
Red White & Blaine will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 28 times in Week 3. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group notched just 17 receptions.
