San Francisco 49ers vs Green Bay Packers: What has been said?
49ers star Nick Bosa has been speaking about opposing quarterback Love ahead of their clash this weekend.
He said: “Love is a quarterback who does exactly what he’s coached to do.
“Aaron Rodgers is a Hall of Famer and unbelievable, but he kinda went outside of the realm of coaching. And sometimes it’s good when you have a guy who does what he’s coached to do.”
“He’s really good at going through his reads and playing the offense to a T.
“We definitely need to stop the run. I don’t think many teams have made him uncomfortable yet, so stopping the run and covering up those easy, open guys is something we have to do.”
