Coach Talk

Gardettos
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a solid display from Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Texas Blitz at the quarterback position this past week (42.45 points to 21.05). Mahomes went 26-for-35 for 331 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 27-17 victory over the Jaguars.
Texas Blitz
With four receptions on just five targets this past week, the starting running backs for Texas Blitz should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more often.
