Coach Talk

Poxle Team
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A solid 26 completions on 30 attempts: good enough for an 87 percent completion percentage for Dak Prescott this past week. The Redskins secondary didn't stand a chance!.
samurai champloo
Posting only three catches on five targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for samurai champloo should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
