Coach Talk

Ground Game Keeper
Earning the win is most important, Ground Game Keeper, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get stronger as a team: our quarterback was thoroughly overmatched this past week. Dak Prescott went 26-of-30 for 269 yards and three touchdowns for Minor Prophets, and all Cam Newton could produce was a 25-for-51 outing for 333 passing yards. We need to work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Minor Prophets
"Not getting enough looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Minor Prophets. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to see a grand total of 35 targets in Week 2. With just 19 total catches, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
