Coach Talk

Scuba Divers
A big key to success in football is creating mismatches. Thanks to a sound outing by Aaron Rodgers, we doubled up Aussig Emptyheads at the quarterback position this past week (28.12 points to 11.26). Rodgers went 21-for-33 for 243 yards and four TDs in a 31-13 win over the Giants.
Aussig Emptyheads
Well, we certainly can't complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to receive a grand total of 17 targets in Week 13. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group notched just 10 receptions.
