Coach Talk

AtomicDawgs17
Football is all about creating mismatches. Fueled by some monster yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters recorded 229 total yards than the RBs of 49erFaithful (401 yards from scrimmage to 172), and we wound up doubling up them at the position (48.3 points to 22.1).
49erFaithful
Do your best take solace in the fact that your generosity this week did not go unnoticed, 49erFaithful. It takes a true winner to help someone like AtomicDawgs17 succeed. Who knows, maybe you'll play them again after they've clinched a playoff spot, and they forget to update their lineup that week to return the favor!
