Coach Talk

GroundNPound
Infinite hours in the film room. Innovative scheming from the Offensive Coordinator. Blood, sweat, and tears in training camp and on the practice field. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Each and every route, every single throw, planned meticulously and executed deliberately. The final result? A whopping 27 connections on 33 attempts... good enough for an 82 percent completion percentage for Aaron Rodgers this past week. The Falcons secondary didn't stand a chance!.
Bad Company $
"Not getting enough chances" is definitely not an excuse this week for Bad Company $. Our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a hearty 36 targets in Week 4. Those players should try to get some extra practice reps in with their QBs, considering they recorded only 20 receptions.
