Coach Talk

Living on Burrowed Time
Hey, this sport is all about exploiting the mismatches. With some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three starting backs recorded 161 more total yards than the RBs of Tony Romo Man Love (274 yards from scrimmage to 113), and we wound up tripling them at the position, 37.4 points to 12.3.
Tony Romo Man Love
Tony Romo Man Love will find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. Our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) combined to see a hearty 33 targets in Week 1. With just 20 total catches, that group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
