Coach Talk

Cowboys
Kudos on deploying a starting crew that won by 80.65 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we had to do.
Seahawks in 2018
Recording just two targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Seahawks in 2018 should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more often.
