Coach Talk

MyGOAThas A. Thielen
A big key to success in football is finding the mismatches. Fueled by an awesome outing from Tom Brady, we doubled up War Dawgz at the quarterback position this past week (24.66 points to 11.32). Brady went 20-for-28 for 264 yards and two TDs in a 43-0 win over the Dolphins.
War Dawgz
With only a pair of receptions this past week, the starting RBs for War Dawgz obviously should look into why their QBs are giving them the silent treatment.
