Coach Talk

eric's Team
Countless hours in the film room and in practice. Full attention from all 11 guys in the huddle. Each and every route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the final result? A staggering 21 connections on 25 attempts: good enough for a completion percentage of 84% for Aaron Rodgers this past week. That Titans secondary didn't see it coming!.
The ‘I’m Back’ Kid
Recording just five targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for The ‘I’m Back’ Kid should look into why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
