Coach Talk

Dallas Texans
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Mean Machine at the wide receiver position (67 points to 29.1).
Mean Machine
Logging only three targets this past week, it appears that the starting RBs for Mean Machine should remind their QBs to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
