Coach Talk

Cowboys
You know Cowboys, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 266.56 points through Week 6, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 231.9 we needed to win this past week!
Seahawks in 2020
Hey now, talk about under-utilized. The starting backfield for Seahawks in 2020 collectively registered only two targets this past week. Instruct those offensive coordinators to set up a screen play or two in Week 8!
