Coach Talk

Mr. Rodgers' Heroes
The key to success in football is exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a solid performance from Aaron Rodgers, we nearly tripled Foot Circumcision at the quarterback position this past week (54.76 points to 18.52). Rodgers lit up the Raiders defense by logging 429 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Foot Circumcision
Welp, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) were targeted a hearty 39 times in Week 7. With only 19 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
