Coach Talk

HowAboutCowboys
Spotting mismatches is a huge key to success in football. We really took that to heart this week by thoroughly outplaying Beckley Bombers at the wide receiver position (46.5 points to 7.8).
Beckley Bombers
"Not getting enough looks" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Beckley Bombers. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 25 times in Week 2. With only 14 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
