Coach Talk

TonyM's Terrific Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's really no other way for us to spin this, TonyM's Terrific Team... our quarterback was significantly outplayed this past week. Jalen Hurts went 18-of-32 for 243 yards and zero touchdowns for The Fishguts, and all Dak Prescott could manage through the air was 134 passing yards and an ugly interception. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
The Fishguts
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this time, can we? Our trio of pass-catchers (two WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 23 targets in Week 1. Chemistry could be the primary issue, as that group managed only 13 receptions.
