Coach Talk

Run That Back
You know, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling showing by Dak Prescott, we tripled Miles High at the quarterback position this past week (59 points to 19). Prescott went 34-for-47 for 450 yards, one TD, and no INTs in a 40-39 win over the Falcons.
Miles High
"Not getting many chances" can't be a reasonable excuse this week for Miles High. As a group, our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 19 times in Week 2. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group managed just 11 catches.
