Coach Talk

Sidney Dak Prescott
Putting together a starting crew that produced 179 points this past week... we consider that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 8 matchup.
AAUGH!
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) collectively got a grand total of 20 targets in Week 7. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group reeled in just 10 catches.
