Coach Talk

Ace's Amazing Team
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to an awesome outing from Lamar Jackson, we tripled Kirk's Standout Team at the quarterback position this past week (33.56 points to 10.06). Jackson went 17-for-20 for 324 yards and five TDs in a 59-10 triumph over the Dolphins.
Kirk's Standout Team
Our quarterback tossed three interceptions and just one touchdown? I guess we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here: Were the 49ers genuinely that strong against the pass, or was Jameis Winston just that out-of-sync with his receiving crew? What do you think, Kirk's Standout Team, do we continue to start him with confidence?
