Coach Talk

Hard Knockers
Assembling a lineup that won by over 73 points this past week... we did what we needed to do and took care of business. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 6 matchup.
Dalton's Crew
Your starting QB threw two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Did Baker Mayfield seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the 49ers secondary just that great defending the pass? This is the sort of judgment you'll need to make, Dalton's Crew, as you deploy your lineup in Week 6 and beyond!
