Coach Talk

Tony's Team
Infinite hours in the film room and on the practice field. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A superb 21 completions on 26 attempts: good enough for an 81% completion percentage for Dak Prescott this past week. The Eagles secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Lexi’s Team
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting RBs for Lexi’s Team collectively logged only five targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 4!
