Coach Talk

NINERS NATION
Well NINERS NATION, the good news is that we won this matchup by nearly 20 points. Even better news is that we've proven we're better than this, as our scoring average through Week 5 stood at 112.04. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Harrisburg Hitmen
Unless Harrisburg Hitmen wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many opportunities" isn't really an excuse this time around. As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 27 targets in Week 6. With just 13 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
