Coach Talk

Jujus Best
Hey, we admire the confidence, Jujus Best. It takes true gumption to play, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Saquon Barkley and Keenan Allen), while still earning a W! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
49erFaithful
Well, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group hauled in just 13 receptions.
