Coach Talk

Lambeau leaps
Hey, the key to football is exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a stellar performance from Derek Carr, we doubled up Book of Eli at the quarterback position this past week (22.98 points to 11.4). Carr went 25-for-39 for 252 yards and two TDs in a 29-23 loss to the Cardinals.
Book of Eli
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 33 times in Week 2. Chemistry could be an issue, as that group pulled down only 19 balls.
