Coach Talk

North Dallas TONGO
Whoa, North Dallas TONGO, have you been practicing any gymnastics recently? Not only did you win by 74.6 points, you also spring-boarded four spots to fifth place in the league standings!
The Paper Curtain
Well, we can't really whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 22 times in Week 3. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group tallied just nine catches.
