Coach Talk

Yoga Pants
Earning the win is most important, Yoga Pants, but we also know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team; our starting QB was utterly overmatched this past week. Dak Prescott went 37-of-57 for 472 yards and three touchdowns for Jackass, and all Cam Newton could muster was a 17-for-28 outing, with 162 yards and one passing TD. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 4!
Jackass
Well, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 22 times in Week 3. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they reeled in only 13 receptions.
