Coach Talk

Flying Flounders
Listen, Flying Flounders, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to start a player with zero points (Chris Hogan), while still getting the win. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Ucinn's Dominators and see what happens.
NINERS NATION
Logging just one measly target this past week, it seems like the starting running backs for NINERS NATION should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
