Coach Talk

Cheeseheads
Narrow victories like this are unbelievably important for the locker room. Persevering in the face of adversity and triumphing as a tight-knit group... expect the Cheeseheads team chemistry to be stronger than ever entering Week 3.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR and one TE) combined to get a grand total of 38 targets in Week 2. Those players should participate in some additional timing drills with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 22 catches.
