Coach Talk

49erFaithful
Hey 49erFaithful, the good news is that we took this matchup by over 16 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through five weeks was 110.46. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Superman's Team
Talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Superman's Team collectively registered three catches on just four targets this past week. Get those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 7!
