Coach Talk

Cardinals Polska
Football is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling outing from Dak Prescott, we nearly tripled Marecki at the quarterback position this past week (43.8 points to 15.48). Prescott went 34-for-47 for 450 yards and one TD in a 40-39 victory over the Falcons.
Marecki
Don't get too down on yourself, Marecki! You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get whiny, and your local beat writers get a little chippy with distasteful columns. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning really does cure all.
