It appears Larry Fitzgerald Sr. would have liked to have seen his son Larry Fitzgerald catch more passes in last night’s Arizona Cardinals victory over the San Diego Chargers, 18-17.
As a child teaching my son football.I was a lineman.I told them every play I hit somebody.He said dad I want to be a receiver.I told him-

Being a receiver you can work hard run all game and your dependent on the coach calling your number.And the quarterback getting you the ball

The world saw on Monday Night Football the politics and business of football.If its been decided that you are not getting the ball just win

Even though Fitzgerald only had one catch for 22 yards, it was nearly a touchdown, and caught one-handed. I was totally impressed.

While it was a bit disappointing to see Palmer target Fitzgerald only four times, we must take into account that Michael Floyd is emerging as a quite capable wide receiver. He also has Andre Ellington to hand the ball off too. Perhaps Mr. Fitzgerald should be reminded that his son is part of a team, not a one-man show.
I have a sneaky suspicion that Fitzgerald Sr. started Fitzgerald Jr. on his fantasy team. Don’t you?
