Coach Talk

Ja'Marrio Bros.
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single throw, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The outcome? A solid 21 completions on 25 attempts... good enough for an 84% completion percentage for Jimmy Garoppolo this past week. The Rams secondary didn't see it coming!.
Gibsonâs Finest
Fortunately, Gibsonâs Finest, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Daniel Carlson and the Las Vegas Raiders defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up almost 171 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
