Coach Talk

Air Raid
The key to success in football is creating mismatches. Our team won the battle in numerous key areas this week: we doubled Luke Skywokka at RB (27.5 points to 11.5), walloped them at QB (29.8 to 11.12), and thoroughly dominated them at WR (35.7 to 10).
Luke Skywokka
Your starting QB threw one interception and no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Was Jimmy Garoppolo actually that out-of-sync with his receivers, or were the Rams just that great defending the pass? This is the sort of decision you'll need to make, Luke Skywokka, as you manage your lineup in Week 7 and beyond!
