Coach Talk

Pappy
Listen, Pappy, we certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real guts to roll out a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Rams defense) while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Niner Cartel
Welp, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 33 times in Week 15. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they reeled in just 19 balls.
