Coach Talk

DC KING CITY
Creating mismatches is a big key to success in football. Thanks to a sound display by Lamar Jackson, we nearly tripled Run & Shoot Dawgs at the quarterback position this past week (51.6 points to 18.65). Jackson went 18-for-29 for 218 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 37-26 triumph over the Patriots.
Run & Shoot Dawgs
With not a single target thrown in their direction this past week the starting running backs for Run & Shoot Dawgs clearly need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to dump it down more often.
