Coach Talk

CHEMDAWGS
Creating mismatches is a huge component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid showing by Josh Allen, we doubled up Dirty Dogs at the quarterback position this past week (28.9 points to 13.4). Allen went 19-for-34 for 210 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-14 win over the Panthers.
Dirty Dogs
Posting only four targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Dirty Dogs should work to smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
