Coach Talk

Arizona Mini Teeth
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing from Kyler Murray, we royally dominated plano tiburon at the quarterback position this past week (25 points to 5). Murray went 22-for-34 for 193 yards and two TDs in a 44-21 loss to the Chiefs.
plano tiburon
Zero touchdowns and an interception for Dak Prescott against the Buccaneers this week. Zero wins and one loss for plano tiburon on the 2022 season. I'm usually pretty old-school when it comes to all this fancy "analytics" mumbo-jumbo... but our in-house bean counters keep badgering me, saying that this is the kind of "correlation" we gotta stay away from.
