Coach Talk

Dak Attack
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Our squad took that to heart this past week and nearly quadrupled Don’t be a K.Hunt at the quarterback position (22.88 points to 5.9).
Don’t be a K.Hunt
Our quarterback threw three interceptions and no touchdowns? We may should have a little debate here: Were the Dolphins really that good defending the pass, or was Tyrod Taylor just that out-of-tune with the receivers? You'll need to decide one way or the other, Don’t be a K.Hunt. The Texans have a bye next week, so luckily you have some extra time to think on that one!
