Coach Talk

Caz *
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Fueled by a thrilling showing by Dak Prescott, we doubled up The Real McKoy at the quarterback position this past week (34 points to 16). Prescott went 42-for-58 for 403 yards, three TDs, and an INT in a 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers.
The Real McKoy
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 24 targets in Week 1. With just 11 total catches, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
