Cardinals OC not concerned about Larry Fitzgerald’s stats

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has five catches for 67 yards in two games this season.

A perennial Pro Bowler, Fitz often times puts up those numbers in just a half of football.

The Cardinals have struggled to get their star the football through two games this season, especially in the 20-18 win over New England last Sunday.

Kevin Kolb attempted to get the ball to Fitzgerald five times, but he came down with just one catch for four yards.

“I think we’ve done a real good job now for six years of scheming to get Larry the ball,” an unconcerned Cardinals offensive coordinator Mike Miller said. “As well as that being a focus, I think we need to remember, took, our focus is to win the game.”

While those words are not likely to appease the many fantasy football owners who have Fitzgerald on their roster, it is ultimately the only thing that matters for the Cardinals.
