Coach Talk

Packer backer
Hey, the key to football is taking advantage of the mismatches. Thanks to solid production from the backfield, our crew certainly made that a point of emphasis this past week. We doubled Instant Kamara up at the running back position (46.1 points to 19.7). Melvin Gordon III had 150 total yards and three TDs, while Tevin Coleman logged 41 yards.
Instant Kamara
Unless Instant Kamara wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is definitely not a viable excuse this week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 39 times in Week 6. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they tallied just 22 receptions.
