Coach Talk

Amazeballs
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A whopping 23 completions on 27 attempts: good enough for an 85% completion percentage for Dak Prescott this past week. The Chargers secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Die Happy
Hey, we were just resting up for Week 3, right? The six offensive position starters (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) on Die Happy combined to register 485 yards and just three touchdowns in Week 2. Our opposition's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 697 yards and five scores.
