Coach Talk

Bring It!
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a solid performance from Dak Prescott, we royally dominated The Footballas at the quarterback position this past week (45.24 points to 8.86). Prescott went 42-for-58 for 403 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers.
The Footballas
Logging just five targets this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for The Footballas should remind their quarterbacks to get them more involved (and dial up a screen play or two).
