Coach Talk

james's Team
You know, the key to football is spotting (and then exploiting) the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Deshaun Watson, we tripled SF Niners at the quarterback position this past week (22.36 points to 6.92). Watson went 22-for-28 for 294 yards and two TDs (plus no INTs) in a 29-22 win over the Jets.
SF Niners
Unless SF Niners wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough opportunities" can't be a reasonable excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 31 times in Week 15. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group reeled in only 19 balls.
