Coach Talk

The Dog House
Countless hours in the film room and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A spectacular 25 completions on 31 attempts... good enough for an 81 percent completion percentage for Aaron Rodgers this past week. That 49ers secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Cavemen
Hey, our crew was just resting up for Week 10, right? The six starting offensive skill players on Cavemen (four WRs, one RB, one TE) combined to register 314 yards and no touchdowns this past week. Our opponent's skill players definitely outperformed us by logging 466 yards and three scores.
