Coach Talk

Cooking with Defense
We do admire the confidence this past week, Cooking with Defense. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Eric Kendricks and Aldon Smith), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
Bert's Superb Team
The problem in Week 13 was pretty easy to diagnose, Bert's Superb Team. Starting multiple zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll just move on from this and assume it's not going to happen again.
