Coach Talk

Tighten up Titans
Well done, Tighten up Titans. Good work assembling a starting crew that won by almost 27 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into a tricky matchup in Week 2.
BABY GOT DAK
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for BABY GOT DAK on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all these fancy numbers and stuff... but the in-house analytics folks keep badgering me, saying that this is the kind of coincidence we should try to be avoiding.
